Tulip Cocoa Welcomes Hundreds of Visitors at the 2026 "Long Night of Business"

Shared by Susan Müller

On 25 September, Tulip Cocoa GmbH & Co. KG once again opened its doors as part of the Long Night of Business, an event organised by the City of Velten.

Following a successful first participation in 2022, the team was pleased to welcome an even larger number of visitors this year. From 4:00 to 9:00 p.m., around 600–800 people visited the site, including representatives from the City of Velten, the Mayor, local media and members of the community.

During guided tours, visitors had the opportunity to learn more about Tulip Cocoa’s operations and explore different areas of the site, including the warehouse, workshop, tank farm, laboratory and loading hall.

A highlight of the evening was the collaboration with PralinenArt, who demonstrated how high-quality cocoa products can be transformed into exceptional, award-winning pralines.

The event also provided an opportunity for the Tulip Cocoa team to share more about the company, its products and the work carried out at the site. The entire event was planned and organised by Tulip Cocoa employees, who worked together to make the evening possible.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, both behind the scenes and on the day. Their commitment, preparation and hard work played a key role in making the Long Night of Business a memorable experience for our guests and for everyone at Tulip Cocoa.
