Around 500 guests attended the inauguration of PRONATEC Swiss Cocoa Production.
Winterthur, 21 September 2022 – Last weekend, Switzerland’s first fully organic cocoa processing plant celebrated its opening. Around 100 customers from the national and international chocolate and food industry attended the VIP celebration on Friday, while another 400 guests visited the factory during the opening party on Saturday. Around 500 people took part in a guided tour of the new production facility and used the opportunity to taste organic cocoa mass, cocoa butter and cocoa powder produced here, as well as chocolate from PRONATEC’s own brand AMARRÚ.
The new organic cocoa factory near Schaffhausen by the Rhine Falls was set up in an existing hall over a period of two years. The new plant uses badge processing and thus guarantees strict organic and fair trade criteria. Thanks to PRONATEC’S unique direct-sourcing system, every product can be traced back to the cocoa-growing smallholder. Around two tonnes of cocoa beans are processed per hour – up to 14,000 tonnes of cocoa beans are processed per year.
The main customers for cocoa mass, cocoa butter and cocoa powder are various customers from the chocolate, food and cosmetics industries in Switzerland, Europe, North America and Japan
