Swiss chocolate manufacturer Maestrani Schweizer Schokoladen has announced the acquisition of Belgian chocolate manufacturer Delafaille as a part of a succession plan.
Founded in 1852 by Aquilino Maestrani, Maestrani has a brand portfolio that includes Munz, Minor, and Avelines. The acquisition includes Delafaille along with its co-packing subsidiary Ostrapack, based in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Commenting on the move, Maestrani CEO Christoph Birchler said: “Two countries, two strengths – united under one roof. This creates new opportunities for our international business and sets a clear example for sustainable growth”.
Delafaille Chocolatiers CEO Paul Daems added: “Delafaille and Maestrani are both rooted in family tradition—with similar values, commitment to quality, and passion for craftsmanship. This makes this acquisition the ideal basis for a successful future”.
This latest acquisition follows Maestrani’s purchase of Avelines in 2022, and a recent deal agreed to acquire Chocolat Ammann, set to be finalised in August.
