Four decades,
one address.
Chocolate World designs, tools, manufactures and services its moulds and machines from a single factory in Hoboken, Antwerp, Belgium — independent and family-owned.
One address, four decades.
Chocolate World founded in Antwerp by the Vermorgen brothers.
Company taken over by Filip Buelens and Jan Neven.
Production of automatic tempering machines — and the options around them — begins.
Move to the current home: Smallandlaan 4, Hoboken — production, warehouse, offices and showroom centralised under one roof.
Company taken over by the current owners — two brothers again, Jean-Erik and Adriaan Verbeke.
Over 2,500 mould references in the catalogue.
“Belgium shaped the world’s chocolate tradition. Our mission is to turn that heritage into the finest tools, knowledge and service for every chocolatier.”
Jean-Erik Verbeke · CEO
Made in Antwerp.
Family-owned
Founded with family values in 1985 and today proudly in the hands of two brothers — Jean-Erik and Adriaan Verbeke — who continue our Belgian chocolate legacy. Independent; no private equity.
Under one roof
Design, tooling, manufacturing, training and service — everything happens under one roof in Antwerp. One partner. One team. One standard of excellence.
