Chocxo Chocolatier Acquires Endangered Species Chocolate
Chocxo Chocolatier, a leader in premium chocolate, is proud to announce the acquisition of Endangered Species Chocolate (ESC), a brand known for its bold flavors and conservation mission. This strategic acquisition combines two purpose-driven companies with shared commitments to sustainability, clean ingredients, and innovation.
The addition of ESC’s Indianapolis facility brings three highly specialized chocolate bar lines to the Chocxo–Chewters manufacturing platform, expanding our capabilities, and creating greater operational flexibility. This increased U.S.-based capacity enables us to serve both branded and contract customers more effectively, accelerate innovation, and optimize lead times for retail partners.
Equally important, the acquisition delivers significant tariff mitigation benefits by enabling production on both sides of the border. This dual-location manufacturing footprint reduces complexity and costs for our retail and contract customers, providing a competitive advantage in today’s global trade environment.
With distribution centers in Indianapolis and Delta, BC, we will now ship from both Canada and US central locations, consolidating freight and streamlining logistics. Our growing Chewters contract manufacturing division, combined with the planned 2026 completion of our new state-of-the-art Rockwall, Texas facility, positions the Chocxo Group as one of the most dynamic, customer-focused chocolate manufacturers in North America.
Richard Foley, CEO of Chocxo Chocolatier, stated:
"This acquisition is more than growth—it’s about delivering meaningful value to our customers through increased capacity, tariff resilience, and a shared commitment to quality and sustainability. Together, Chocxo and ESC will continue to lead with innovation, purpose, and performance."
