History

Cacao Barry

Cacao Barry was founded by Charles Barry in France in 1842. The company's founder traveled to Africa to seek out a selection of cocoa beans that would enable him to create his first connoisseur's chocolate. In 1923, Alexandre Lacarré took over the reins and carried out a number of ambitious projects for the company. In 1952, Cacao Barry became active from bean to gourmet chocolate. In 1963, the company created "Baking Sticks" and simultaneously the chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat{{Citation needed|date=April 2012}}

). In 1973, they launched the "Your demonstration partner" brand to introduce personalized assistance and support to professionals. In 1994, shortly before the merger of 1996, they launched the Pure Origine of Cacao Barry brand.

Callebaut

Callebaut was a Belgian company, founded by Eugenius Callebaut as a brewery in Wieze, Belgium, in 1850. The brewery began producing chocolate bars in 1911 and soon switched entirely to chocolate production. They began producing chocolate couverture in 1925.

Merger and IPO

Belgian chocolate producer Callebaut and French chocolate company Cacao Barry merged in 1996 to form Barry Callebaut. In 1998, Barry Callebaut was listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.^[7]

Acquisitions since original merger

In 1999 the company acquired Swiss chocolate maker Carma AG. In 2002, the group bought German company Stollwerck. These acquisitions were followed in 2003 by the acquisition of Dutch-Belgian company Luijckx Chocoladen N.V., AM Foods amba (vending mixes) in Sweden in 2004, FPI Food Processing International in the U.S in 2007 and KL-Kepong Cocoa Products Sdn Bhd in Malaysia in 2008. It sold Stollwerck in 2011.^[8]

Barry Callebaut also opened chocolate factories in Turkey, Russia, China, Brazil, and Mexico.

Barry Callebaut is present in over 30 countries,^[3] operates about 53 production facilities, employs 9,898 people, and has annual sales of CHF 6.7 billion (fiscal year 2015/16).^[1] The company serves the food industry from manufacturers to professional users of chocolate (such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs, or bakers), to global retailers. It also provides a comprehensive range of services in the fields of product development, processing, training, and marketing.

Company history

In 2005, Barry Callebaut introduced a "healthy" chocolate product called ACTICOA, which contains higher levels of polyphenol antioxidants (cocoa flavanols) than any other chocolate; some evidence indicates these flavanols have particular health benefits.^[9]

Criticism

Deforestation

On September 13, 2017 NGO Mighty Earth released a report^[10] documenting findings that Barry Callebaut purchases cocoa grown illegally in national parks and other protected forests in the Ivory Coast.

The report accused Barry Callebaut of endangering the forest habitats of chimpanzees, elephants and other wildlife populations by purchasing cocoa linked to deforestation.^[11]^[12]^[13] As a result of cocoa production, 7 of the 23 Ivorian protected areas have been almost entirely converted to cocoa.^[14] Barry Callebaut was notified of the findings of Mighty Earth’s investigation and did not deny that the company sourced its cocoa from protected areas in the Ivory Coast.
