Colombian B Corp chocolate manufacturer showcases protein innovation, sugar-free formulations and bespoke co-creation capability at Sweets & Snacks Expo, Las Vegas
Luker Chocolate, the Colombian B Corp chocolate maker with 120 years of cocoa expertise, will exhibit at Sweets & Snacks Expo 2026, the largest confectionery and snacking trade show in the US, taking place May 19–21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
At the show, Luker will showcase its NPD and co-creation capabilities alongside new product innovations from its Balance, Heritage and Sensación lines, designed for brands and co-manufacturers working in confectionery, snacking, ice cream and bakery.
Luker’s on-the-ground team will be available for co-creation conversations, formulation consultations and tailored product demonstrations throughout the show.
At Booth #3162 attendees can explore:
- Chocolate with Whey Protein— Luker’s hero innovation for 2026, delivering 5g of protein per 30g serving with a smooth, premium sensory profile. Available in milk chocolate (45 percent ) and dark chocolate varieties, (55 percent ) and (44 percent ) with no-added-sugar variants and demonstrated in application as protein-coated almonds
- Sugar-free formulations— including a 50 percent Dark Chocolate with Allulose, alongside formulations using stevia and monkfruit, developed for the fast-growing better-for-you snacking segment
- Sensación indulgent line— including Caramelo and Dorado, designed for premium confectionery and bakery applications
- Heritage single-origin blends— Sombra, Claro de Luna, Gardenia, Nevado and Palenque 70, each rooted in Fine Flavor Colombian cacao
Rachel Fish, Business Development Manager at Luker Chocolate, said:
“The brands winning in confectionery and snacking right now are the ones investing in differentiated formulation. That’s exactly what we’re built for. At Sweets & Snacks, we want to meet the teams who are thinking seriously about what’s next and show them what’s possible with the right chocolate partner behind them.”
Luker arrives at Sweets & Snacks on the back of its strongest sustainability report to date. Published in April 2026, Adapting, Transforming and Evolving confirms the company has beaten multiple 2027 targets two years early, including SBTi-validated climate goals, an 18 percent emissions reduction and measurable income growth for nearly 1,600 farming families.
For brands and co-manufacturers evaluating sourcing partners, the report provides independently verified evidence of supply chain resilience and farmer-level traceability across Luker’s Colombian operations.
Luker’s US operations are supported by a Chicago warehouse providing flexible volume and supply continuity for North American clients.
