According to the company, Luker Chocolate’s portfolio is designed to meet today’s diverse consumer preferences, featuring organic, functional, plant-based, and indulgent options. From certified organic chocolates for health-conscious consumers to functional ingredients that promote wellness, the company’s assortment includes dairy-free oat milk chocolates for plant-based diets and seasonal products ideal for gifting, providing retailers with versatile options for various customer needs.
With a 3PL warehouse in Chicago, Luker Chocolate supports efficient and flexible distribution within the U.S. market, company officials said. This warehousing setup enables optimal delivery times, reducing logistical challenges and ensuring Luker’s ready-to-launch products are readily accessible to American retailers.
To meet the rising demand for environmentally friendly packaging, Luker has developed a variety of sustainable options, including plastic-free paper, compostable, and recyclable (monomaterial) packaging. These solutions help retailers minimize environmental impact while aligning with consumer values.
Luker Chocolate also works with retailers to deliver on specific needs in product development, packaging, and logistics, fostering collaborative partnerships tailored to individual retailer expectations.
