Leonidas opens €100M chocolate factory in Nivelles, consolidating global production

Belgian chocolatier Leonidas inaugurated a new €100 million factory in Nivelles, Walloon Brabant, consolidating production, HQ, R&D, and warehousing on a 30,000 m² site. The move relocates operations from Anderlecht and makes Nivelles the sole global production site, supporting 1,225 sales points across 40 countries. This marks a significant industrial investment in Wallonia, though it is a routine corporate relocation with no immediate market or geopolitical impact.
