Novi Sad is, we believe, the perfect location as it is the second largest city in Serbia, has a reputable university and thus offers access to the resources we need to realize our plans. The factory will serve as a regional hub from which Barry Callebaut can address the rapidly growing chocolate markets of Southeastern Europe.”Aleksandar Vučić, President of Serbia, said: “We are very happy and proud to welcome an export oriented market leader into Serbia’s food industry. Not only will Barry Callebaut bring state-of-the-art technology and expertise to our country but also investments and employment for our people. Serbia will do its utmost to make this a success.”
