Learning Objective: Familiarize yourself with the large chocolate manufacturers and what type of products they offer
A picture of the chocolate product manufacturing industry
Whether you refer to the product as cioccolato, chocolate, chocolat, schokolade, chocolates, chokolade, choklade, coklat, schokoladen, chocolade, sjokolade or cokolade – there is a world of chocolate out there.
Included in the following list are the larger candy/confectionary product manufacturers who mainly sell their products to food retailers and who have a website (or are described on one) – many others do not. It is too long a list to spend time looking at each one but try at least to research a random group of 20.
Note the kind of products they produce, who their customers and partners are (if that's available), where they sell and distribute their products and how they package their products.
