 Charles Neuhaus sold Côte d’Or in 1889 to the Buiswal-Leclef family who merges with the Michiels chocolate company in 1906 to create Alimenta S.A.

Côte d'Or was later purchased by Jacobs Suchard in 1987; Jacobs Suchard in turn was purchased by Kraft General Foods in 1990, which forked off its chocolate and confectionery brands into Mondelez International in 2012, so that Mondelez is the current owner of the Côte d'Or brand.Belgians consume 600 million Côte d'Or products a year.The Côte d'Or factory in Halle (near Brussels) used to produce 1.3 million mignonnettes (small chocolate bars—they are now produced in Poland) and two million Chokotoffs (chocolate toffees) each day.
