Gubor, the German chocolate manufacturer, has announced plans to close its factory in the southern town of Cadolzburg by the end of April 2026, reprotedly due to prolonged low capacity use and escalating costs.
The company presently manages six production sites five across Germany and one in Poland, with the Cadolzburg plant specialising in chocolate figurines and confectionery gift items sold internationally. It will retain the Cadolzburg location as a central base for purchasing, sales, marketing and IT operations.
Commenting on the decision, Gubor managing partner Claus Cersovsky said: “Rising prices for raw materials and energy, increasing international competition and the necessary passing on of price increases to our customers have led to a significant reduction in our orders. A market recovery is not currently foreseeable”.
“As a result, we must adapt the production capacities of our group of companies to market requirements”, he added.
