TURNKEY CHOCOLATE MANUFACTURING

We understand that creating a chocolate product is not just about production. It’s about the entire journey, from sourcing the finest cacao beans to designing the perfect packaging. At Luker, the process begins with the careful design of a sourcing plan and ends with the launch of purpose-driven chocolate products made from high-quality cacao beans and cocoa liquor.

END-TO-END CHOCOLATE MANUFACTURING: FROM ORIGIN TO YOUR HANDS

Turnkey manufacturing is a strategic partnership that includes sourcing, recipe creation, production, compliance, and packaging—so you can focus on growing your business. Unlike tolling, we manage the full journey with you.
