Dutch chocolate manufacturers Chocolatemakers and Hands Off are merging to form The Chocolate Impact Group, with the aim of growing faster together in a market under pressure from volatile cocoa prices and structural shortages. Both companies specialize in sustainable chocolate.
Complementary distribution
The two companies currently generate a combined revenue of around 8 million euros and aim to reach 20 million euros within four years. In doing so, they are explicitly focusing on further professionalization: the merger is intended to increase the availability of sustainable chocolate while simultaneously delivering economies of scale in procurement and distribution. This is reported by the FD.
