- In May 2020, Barry Callebaut announced the acquisition of GKC Foods in Australia as part of its strategic expansion. This acquisition aimed to establish a local manufacturing presence to produce a dedicated chocolate line in the region. The development is expected to enhance the company’s production capacity and streamline supply to regional customers. By localizing operations, Barry Callebaut can respond more efficiently to market demand and reduce import reliance. This move strengthens its footprint in Asia-Pacific and contributes to the growth of the regional cocoa products market.
