Gubor to Shut Cadolzburg Chocolate Production After Easter 2026

The move responds to a prolonged demand slump that left costly, underused lines.

Overview

  • Chocolate manufacturing at the Cadolzburg site will end after the Easter business in late April 2026 as part of a phased reorganization.
  • Production lines will be redistributed across other Gubor facilities in Germany and Poland.
  • Cross-site functions such as procurement, marketing, sales and IT will remain in Cadolzburg to preserve some roles.
  • The company has not disclosed how many production employees will be affected by the shutdown.
  • FOCUS reports the Forchheim warehouse will be vacated when its lease expires in June 2027, with consolidation tied to the recently reported merger with Poland’s Colian Group and resulting overcapacity.
