Foreverland has achieved IFS Food certification and reports accelerating demand from confectionery manufacturers. It aims to enable manufacturers to maintain production stability while offering more stable pricing and lower environmental impact. The company plans to expand commercially across Europe, strengthen partnerships with major confectionery players, recruit senior talent from the cocoa and chocolate industry, and expand its product portfolio to include an organic cocoa-free line.
