Our Story
Opening in Moorabbin in 2013, the evolution of Chocablock has been rapid with all kinds of twists and turns. But one principle has always held steady over that period - times may change, but our collective love of chocolate doesn't. Chocablock has been exceeding customer expectations for over a decade now, and we continue to go from strength to strength in both our capabilities and ability to deliver fast, creative and unique promotional confectionery for clients of all shapes and sizes.
The Devil Is In the Detail
Let us ask you – when your event is done and dusted, what do people remember? It’s the attention to detail, isn’t it? Whether it be an appreciative morning tea or a full blown gala night product launch, the highest praise you can receive is that you thought of everything. It is in this pursuit of perfection that Chocablock was born.
We Are Event People
At our core, we love to celebrate. We throw parties for every reason. For our company, for our clients, for our family, for our friends. We love to plan, plot and style. We dare to dream and our vision is only exceeded by our passion to make a memory. And we think you do too which makes our mission pretty simple – to make your next event GREAT.
We Make Dreams Come True
Once upon a time, it was pretty hard to get what you wanted when it came to personalisation and branding for events and promotions. Artwork setup fees, costly samples, middle men, high minimums - and let’s not forget the pricing! Most frustrating was that if you came up with an idea, there was nobody to deliver it for a price worth paying. But now you have us, your partner in crime, your sweet little secret, that will go above and beyond to create the ideal promotional confectionery for your next corporate event.
Branded Chocolates, Confectionery, Packaging & More!
Chocablock creates that “something special” for celebrations that your clients and colleagues cherish and remember. Once upon a time, all we offered was chocolate bars - now we have over 700 product types with thousands of designs specially created for all the special days of the year. Our range now includes branded cards, lolly bags, chocolate-filled boxes, hampers, jars, tins, pops, test tubes, milk cartons, even trains, trucks and more! And what we can source to fill all of these options goes on and on, including couverture chocolate, honeycomb, strawberries and cream, bite-size cookies, sour worms, pineapples, red frogs, caramel popcorn, mints, jelly beans, nuts, mixed speckles, lollies and much, much more!
The Three "F's"
At Chocablock, we’ve always delivered on the three ‘F’s - we’re fast, we’re flexible and we’re all about having fun. We believe that both the quality of our products coupled with our investment in in-house production equipment plus our enthusiastic team allows us to deliver on all three fronts in delivering unique products to the chocolate lovers of the world.
Our People
We hire great, self-motivated people with diverse backgrounds who are willing to engage and share their stories so that we can grow both the company and ourselves. Our people are our life-blood and it's taken years of dedication and course-correction to create a culture that strikes the perfect balance on customer-focus and support for staff in our fast-paced environment. We're only as good as our last order, and it is this that keeps our whole organisation on its toes.
Melbourne Born & Bred
We’ve been involved in the branded confectionery industry for over a decade, so we know a thing or two about chocolate and great customer service. Through the years at our Moorabbin warehouse, we’ve won National Customer Service awards and we believe the best is yet to come.
