Barry Callebaut closes factory in Norderstedt. Company boss Peter Feld had previously announced the job cuts.
The aim is to save 250 million francs (around 260 million euros) per year, around 15 percent of the costs. The company is active in 40 countries and generated annual sales of around 8.5 billion francs in the 2022/23 financial year (August 31). The Barry CalleBaut Group looks back on a 175-year chocolate tradition. dpa.
