Case Study: Barry Callebaut achieves secure, optimized network performance and guaranteed bandwidth with Zscaler

Barry Callebaut - Customer Case Study

Barry Callebaut, the world’s leading producer of high‑quality chocolate and cocoa products, operates in 30+ countries with roughly 9,300 employees and dozens of production sites. After acquiring Delfi Cocoa, the central IT team had to integrate 12 international locations (about 1,600 users) within six months while addressing rising malware risks and severe bandwidth congestion caused by non‑business web traffic.

Barry Callebaut deployed Zscaler’s cloud‑based Internet Security Platform as a managed service, enabling fast rollout, centralized Web 2.0 policies, and real‑time reporting. The solution prioritized corporate applications to guarantee bandwidth, blocked unwanted traffic, improved visibility into network use, and simplified operations through a single provider—resolving congestion and strengthening security across its global sites.
