On May 3, 2024, Lindt & Sprüngli celebrated the opening of a significant expansion to their Lindt Cocoa Center in Olten, Switzerland. The company invested approximately 100 million Swiss francs into this project, enhancing the site's capacity to produce cocoa mass for various European production facilities. The expansion includes new production lines and facilities aimed at doubling the plant’s production capacity.
