Belcolade, the Belgian chocolate brand, is investing €21 million on expanding its site in Erembodegem, Belgium. Two production lines are being added: one for the production of liquid chocolate, and one for packaged chocolate. The warehouse is also being expanded.

The existing buildings will be expanded to accommodate new production lines and a spacious and modern warehouse area. The enlarged site will cover 36,000m2. In a first phase, the additional line for liquid chocolate will provide 15% extra capacity. The additional line for packaged goods will increase capacity by 30%. In the long term, this will increase Belcolade’s total capacity by 50%.

“The centralisation and expansion of the warehouse will not only enable us to produce more and deliver our products even faster to our customers; the expansion of the production lines also means we can respond even more flexibly when asked to make chocolate with specifications”, says Mr. Luc De Norre, site manager at Belcolade.
