Mondelez Plans $77M Investment in Toblerone Factory, Switzerland

Mondelez International has announced a significant investment of approximately 65 million Swiss francs (about $77 million) in its Toblerone manufacturing facility in Bern, Switzerland, aiming to transform it into a global center of excellence for the brand. This investment will include a new state-of-the-art production line expected to be operational by autumn 2025, as well as upgrades to the chocolate and nougat making facilities and infrastructure enhancements. The move is part of Mondelez's strategy to capitalize on the growing global demand for premium chocolate, with expectations to increase Toblerone's production capacity significantly. Currently, the Bern facility produces about four million Toblerone products daily, representing around 90% of the brand's global output. Additionally, to highlight its Swiss heritage, Mondelez plans to feature the Swiss flag on Toblerone packaging. This investment marks one of the largest in the European chocolate sector for Mondelez in the past decade.
