Its mission is to “create delicious moments of joy” for consumers in 165 countries by bringing them many of the world’s favorite snack brands such as Oreo, Nabisco, Cadbury, Trident and Tang.1 Mondelēz International holds leading market shares in every category in which it competes: ranking first globally in biscuits, chocolate, candy and powdered beverages as well as second in gum and coffee. 2 Now the company’s leadership wants to further strengthen its competitive advantages and grow its market share in emerging markets by enhancing global collaboration, expediting decision-making and increasing operational efficiency.

  • The History of Kraft Foods Inc
    The History of Kraft Foods Inc. All About Kraft Learn everything there is to know about Kraft: like who we are, how you can reach us and what we’re doing in your community. Kraft Foods Inc. is a company with many different roots and founders, all sharing a commitment to quality, a willingness to take risks and a spirit of innovation. Among the products now sold by Kraft Foods Inc. are so many “firsts” and innovations that a history of the company is almost a history of the food industry. Kraft traces its history to three of the most successful food entrepreneurs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries — J.L. Kraft, who started his cheese business in 1903; C.W. Post, who founded Postum Cereal Company (later renamed General Foods Corporation) in 1895; and Oscar Mayer, who began his meat business in 1883. The Story of J.L. Kraft The history of KRAFT goes back to 1903, when, with $65 in capital, a rented wagon and a horse named Paddy, J.L. Kraft started purchasing cheese at Chicago’s Water Street wholesale market and reselling it to local merchants. Within a short time, four of J.L. Kraft’s brothers joined him in the business, and, in 1909, they incorporated as J.L. Kraft & Bros. Co. In 1914, J.L. Kraft and his brothers purchased their first cheese factory in Stockton, Illinois. In 1915, they began producing processed cheese in 3-1/2 and 7-3/4 ounce tins. J.L. Kraft’s method of producing processed cheese was so revolutionary, in 1916 he obtained a patent for it and in 1917 the company started supplying cheese in tins to the U.S.

  • The Changing Face of Economics and the Consequences for Industry
    Fergus Carr 2505361 History and Theory The changing face of economics and the consequences for industry In this essay I am going to study the way in which a changing economy affects the architecture of industry. I am going to examine the change of use of the Peek Freans biscuit factory in Bermondsey from confectionary manufactory (use class B2) to offices and studios (use class B1). It is a fact that industrial units are redeveloped when the existing infrastructure becomes outdated or outmoded. However, I feel that there may be more to the redevelopment of the Bermondsey site than may meet the eye. Firstly I would like to address the question of classical economics, which relied upon the belief that “the pursuit of individual self interest produced the greatest possible economic benefits for society as a whole, through the power of the invisible hand”.1 This meant that the state would have a laissez-faire policy towards the regulation of industry. That it was the captains of Industry that provided capital for cultural and community projects such as art galleries, museums and more pertinently social housing, which gave rise to the creation and development of communities based entirely on the local industry, examples of which can be found In the chocolate company Cadbury’s model village Bourneville near Birmingham, tobacco company RJ Reynolds in Winston-Salem in the USA and Peek Freans “Biscuit Town” of Bermondsey in London, to name but a few of the most pertinent examples. When James Peek and his business partner George Hender Frean established the Peek Freans Company in 1857, they had anticipated Mr.

  • How (And Why) Oreo Keeps Coming up with Crazy Limited- Edition Flavors
    How (And Why) Oreo Keeps Coming Up With Crazy Limited- Edition Flavors The classic cookie can't be beat, so why does Oreo keep releasing flavors like Watermelon and Carrot Cake? Sadly, if you missed your chance to try Carrot Cake Oreos, they may never come back. Since March 6, 1912 (the day when the term Oreo was first used on the trademark forms and hence why that day is celebrated every year as National Oreo Day) Oreo has had a simple recipe for success: two chocolate cookies with one layer of creme. The world has changed quite a bit since Oreo debuted over 100 years ago, and now the brand must change, too. That’s why the folks behind America’s most enduring cookie are constantly releasing different colored and flavored Oreo cookies and cremes on supermarket shelves. But why is Oreo messing with a good thing? How do they come up with flavors like Fruit Punch, Jelly Donut, Peeps, Watermelon, Swedish Fish and, umm, Love? To find out, we spoke to Justin Parnell, the senior marketing director for Oreo in the United States to learn how the brand comes up with those new flavors and the proposed flavors that Americans may never get to try. Oreo’s 100th birthday inadvertently sparked a flavor revolution. Oreo released a lemon sandwich cookie back in the 1920s, but the company’s modern-day obsession with new flavors truly began in 2012, when it celebrated a 100-year anniversary by launching Birthday Cake Oreo (chocolate sandwich cookies with birthday cake-flavored creme).
