Food12 November, 2026

Chocolate manufacturer Libeert is bursting at the seams. The Belgian family-owned business is building a new factory in Comines, which will double its production capacity. The investment follows a 68% increase in revenue over the past three years.

New factory by 2030

Libeert has ambitious growth plans. The chocolate manufacturer, known for its chocolate figures for Sinterklaas, Easter, and Christmas, as well as its chocolate bars for premium private labels, will begin operations at a new production site in early 2030. It will be located on a 65,000 m² plot along the Leie River in Komen, just one and a half kilometers from the current factory.
