The new production line, the fourth at the base, will double annual granola bar production to 4,000 tonnes or more than 150 million bars, Mészáros said. The additional capacity will allow Cerbona to expand its export market range to Western Europe, he added.

Cerbona owner Attila Pókecz noted that the company had earlier acquired the “Boci” chocolate brand from Nestlé, which would be a “new challenge” but add value to the portfolio in the long term. Cerbona had a net revenue of HUF 7.1 billion (EUR 17.7 million) in 2023, public records show.
