The facility “will also house 3,000 sq m of warehouse space to facilitate fast and efficient deliveries of our chocolate products”, Patchi said.

The company said the new plant “will enable the production of different varieties of chocolates to cater to diverse market requirements”. 

Patch’s product range includes luxury, boxed and loose chocolate, in addition to a no-added sugar line that is sweetened with maltitol and a range exclusively aimed at children.
