New Chapter 11 Filing - Cocoa Services LLC

in

Cocoa Services LLC

  • 7/14/17 Recap: The company is a (i) part of a vertically-integrated group of companies that supported supply chain for cocoa products and (ii) wholly-owned subsidiary of Transmar Commodity Group Ltd. ("TCG"), which previously filed for bankruptcy and is in the process of being sold and wound down. TCG was the company's largest customer so...well, the bankruptcy of one has effectively dominoed into the bankruptcy of another. The company intends to sell itself to an entity known as JB Cocoa Inc. And since there's nothing else particularly interesting about this case, we're going to pour ourselves some bowls of cocoa puffs. Just because.
