They have been doing really well here too. Their initial goal was to become ethical chocolate/cacao wholesalers but they knew they had no chance starting a purely b2b business. So aside from selling their own bars, but over time they grew and now sell to a lot of other brands including the no-brand stuff the supermarkets sell with their own logo (how do you call that? We call them house brands, but that makes no sense in English). They are getting a serious market share as sell, with an ever increasing bigger part from their b2b branch now.

In British English theyโ€™re called โ€œown-brandsโ€, which makes less sense tbh.

For Americans it's either generic or "store brand" which usually has its own name i.e. "Great value" for Walmart

In American English we call the house brands or store brands.
