Cargill to modernize, centralize its North American Cocoa and Chocolate business

摘要

Cargill will continue to take steps to improve and expand its chocolate, compound and chocolate liquor production offerings and services for North American food and beverage companies. In January 2016, Cargill will close its plant in Lititz, Penn., on Broad Street and shift production of these offerings to Cargill's other, more modern and efficient plants in Mount Joy, Lititz (West Lincoln Avenue) and Hazleton, Penn.; Milwaukee; and Ontario, Canada. Also in January, Cargill will centralize its North American Cocoa and Chocolate leadership, administrative and customer-focused roles in Milwaukee and Minneapolis. Previously these functions were based in Lititz and other locations throughout North America. Cargill's Milwaukee facility features extensive production and product development capabilities and an expansive, modern office space. Minneapolis is home to Cargill's corporate headquarters and this move will bring its North American Cocoa and Chocolate business closer to the company's vast administrative, research and development and marketing resources.
