Australia's longest-running chocolate company collapses

The iconic Ernest Hillier Chocolates - along with its parent Chocolate & Confectionery Company Pty Ltd - announced on Wednesday it had appointed administrators from business advisory firm WLP Restructuring after being faced with the threat of insolvency.

The business produced a range of more than 600 chocolates at its"significant" manufacturing facility in Coburg.

In 2015, the Melbourne-based business was placed into voluntary administration after being unable to bear an unsurmountable debt but re-emerged the following year and resumed manufacturing.

“The company operates a significant manufacturing facility in Coburg, and the Ernest Hillier and Newman’s brands have featured on the shelves of Australia’s supermarkets for many years,” Mr Walker said.
