General information

Short Summary
The German company is a fast-growing company focussing on the development and sales of sugar-free food. They are looking for chocolate manufacturers as suppliers or contract manufacturers to producer their cocoa drops. Cooperation under a supplier or outsourcing agreement is offered.
Full Description
The German company is specialised in the development and distribution of sugar-free products. They focus on innovative foods aimed at a sustainable and health-promoting industrial sugar reduction. The company is already active in 16 countries where it offers its sugar-free products online.

One of their main products are dark, milk and white chocolate drops sweetened with erythritol stevia. They are now looking for a supplier or contract manufacturer to produce these cocoa drops according to their specifications.

Important parameters are the size of the drops of approx. 0.5 to 0.8 cm in diameter and the use of the sweetener erythritol stevia. The annual purchase quantity each product is 50.000 pcs. or higher, filled in 450g in printed doy bags.

A small deviation in the size of the drops as well as a small deviation in the ingredients won’t be a problem. However, it would be absolutely important that the dark chocolate version remains vegan and the use of the sweetener erythritol-stevia. Furthermore, they prefer to look for an all-in-one solution (with the exception of the doy bags provided by the German company).

Cooperation is offered within the framework of a supplier or an outsourcing agreement.
