One of Barry Callebaut’s largest chocolate facilities in Asia, covering more than 20,000 square metres, was inaugurated in Neemrana, Rajasthan. The factory strengthens India’s position as the company’s largest chocolate-producing market in the AMEA region and marks a milestone in Barry Callebaut’s two-decade presence in the country.
For #SphinxIndia, this was the second factory inauguration taken on for Barry Callebaut.The first was Baramati in 2021, and the second, Neemrana in 2025, which marked a larger step in Barry Callebaut’s India journey.
Building on Legacy, Expanding the Future
Starting from Baramati in 2021, with a Chocolate Academy in Mumbai and a business services hub in Hyderabad. Neemrana extends that presence with additional capacity, integrated warehousing, and proximity to northern markets. Over the last five years, Barry Callebaut has invested more than INR 500 crores in India, underscoring its long-term commitment.
With senior leaders and dignitaries present, the inauguration was designed to showcase scale and precision. Factory tours, ceremonial moments, and leadership addresses were aligned into a structured program that reflected both global standards and local resonance.
From Ceremony to Precision
Inaugurations of this scale demand ceremonial flow and operational discipline. #SphinxIndia structured the day through a sequence of activities designed to balance tradition, strategy, and precision:
- Guest reception and welcome with dignitaries, executives, and media.
- Ceremonial opening through ribbon cutting and plaque unveiling at the new facility.
- Factory tours led through production lines and warehousing areas, showcasing technology and capacity.
- Hospitality and networking arranged for guests, providing space for interaction and engagement.
- Media engagement through photo opportunities, interviews, and press coverage to amplify the event’s impact.
The inauguration reinforced Barry Callebaut’s vision for India. The country has become a strategic hub for the company in AMEA, with a production scale that now matches its global ambitions.
The new factory expands capacity, supports multiple product formats, and integrates warehousing for efficiency. Beyond operations, the inauguration demonstrated that Barry Callebaut can express its global identity in India with the same consistency and authority as in Europe and North America.
The Neemrana inauguration went beyond opening a new site. It stood as a statement of commitment, scale, and belief in India’s place in Barry Callebaut’s global journey..
Looking Ahead
From Baramati to Neemrana, Barry Callebaut’s India journey reflects continuity, scale, and ambition. By taking on both inaugurations, #SphinxIndia has positioned itself as the partner capable of staging milestones that shape industries.
As industries expand, milestones define the journey. #SphinxIndia ensures they are staged with clarity and discipline.
