Döhler has acquired Nukoko, a move that highlights the growing momentum of cocoa-free chocolate within the confectionery industry. The acquisition aims to transition these alternatives from niche products into scalable solutions for manufacturers.
According to FoodNavigator Europe, this shift comes as the industry faces increasing cost pressures and supply chain volatility regarding traditional cocoa. By integrating Nukoko, Döhler is positioning itself to provide more stable options for the market.
