The artisanal chocolate manufacturer Heindl wants to get started after a difficult year. New stores and increased production are planned. They have already jumped on the Dubai chocolate bandwagon, but there will be a change for the customers too.
Advent time is chocolate time: in November and December the Heindl factory achieves a third of its annual turnover of more than 30 million euros. After a weak summer, the end-of-year wave should soften the figures. November was already record-breaking and now boss Andreas Heindl, whose family also owns the traditional company, is hoping for a further boost in the Christmas business. High cocoa prices – which rose to 10,000 British pounds per tonne – also put pressure on the Viennese manufacturer.
