Viola LabiOwner · EDUSeeking GTA Co-Packers for Chocolate BarsHello CFIN Network, I am reaching out again to see if anyone in the network can recommend co-packers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) who specialize in chocolate bar production. We are a single-origin chocolate company and are looking for a manufacturing partner who would be open to working with high-grade couverture that we supply and can accommodate small to mid-sized production runs. If you have any recommendations in the GTA, contacts, or experience working with co-packers who offer this type of arrangement, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you in advance for any leads or introductions! Best regards, Viola
