Belcolade, the Belgian chocolate brand produced by family firm Puratos, is expanding its site in Erembodegem (Aalst, Belgium). Two production lines are being added - one for the production of liquid chocolate, and one for packaged chocolate. The warehouse is also being enlarged. The expansion represents an investment of €21 m. The existing buildings will be 7,500m~2 larger and will accommodate new production lines and a spacious and modern warehouse area. The enlarged site will cover 36,000m~2. In a first phase, the additional line for liquid chocolate will provide 15 per cent extra capacity. The additional line for packaged goods will increase capacity by 30 per cent. In the long term, this will increase Belcolade's total capacity by 50 per cent.
