First outsourcing deal to be fully supplied from new factory in Novi Sad, Serbia
Belgrade/Serbia, July 6, 2021 – The Barry Callebaut Group, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality #chocolate and cocoa products, has signed a long-term outsourcing agreement with #atlanticstark, a leading #chocolate, biscuits and candy manufacturer in #serbia. #atlanticstark has been operating since 1922 and is present in #serbia and the Western Balkans. The long-term outsourcing agreement makes Barry Callebaut to one of Atlantic Stark’s top-tier compound suppliers and its sole supplier of #chocolate.
Atlantic Stark is the first regional customer that will be supplied from Barry Callebaut’s new factory in Novi Sad, #serbia. Deliveries to #atlanticstark will start as of now. A part of the volume will include Cocoa Horizons cocoa, Barry Callebaut’s preferred vehicle to implement sustainability initiatives.
Rogier van Sligter, Co-President EMEA said: “This outsourcing agreement is an important step to serve the still largely captive Southeastern European markets with #chocolate and compound. Thanks to Barry Callebaut’s Cocoa Horizons certification, we will also create more visibility for sustainable #chocolate in Southeastern Europe, something both our customers and consumers are keenly interested in.”
The two parties have agreed not to disclose any financial details.
