Next Monday, the Lahti City Council will discuss the extension of the cooperation agreement with Fazer on the factory investment.
Lahti and Fazer intend to extend the cooperation agreement on Fazer’s investment in a confectionery factory.
The current contract would expire at the end of this year, but it is now due to be extended until the end of 2025. The preliminary agreement between the city and Fazer on the sale of the real estate for the factory is also valid until the end of 2025.
The cooperation agreement will be extended as Fazer has not yet made a final decision on the location of the confectionery factory. The extension agreement will be discussed by the Lahti City Council on Monday 16 October.
Fazer needs additional time for planning because it decided last March to change the scope of the confectionery factory investment. A new chocolate factory is now being considered in Lahti, when originally the intention was to later also concentrate sugar confectionery production in Lahti.
