    November 7, 2014 Mondelez International Announces $50 Million Investment Opportunity for UK Coffee Site - Proposal coincides with Banbury coffee plant's 50th anniversary - Planned investment highlights success of Tassimo single-serve beverage system - Part of a multi-year, $1.5 billion investment in European manufacturing BANBURY, England, Nov. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mondelez International, the world's pre-eminent maker of chocolate, biscuits, gum and candy as well as the second largest player in the global coffee market, today announced plans to invest $50 million (£30 million) in its Banbury, UK factory to build two new lines that will manufacture Tassimo beverage capsules. Tassimo is Europe's fastest growing single-serve system, brewing a wide variety of beverages including Jacobs and Costa coffees and Cadbury hot chocolate. The decision is part of Mondelez International's multi-year investment in European manufacturing, under which $1.5 billion has been invested since 2010. The planned investment will create close to 80 roles and coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Banbury factory, which produces coffee brands such as Kenco, Carte Noire and Maxwell House. The Tassimo capsules produced in Banbury will be exported to Western European coffee markets in France and Spain as well as distributed in the UK. "Tassimo is a key driver of growth for our European coffee business, so this $50 million opportunity is a great one for Banbury," said Phil Hodges, Senior Vice President, Integrated Supply Chain, Mondelez Europe.

  • Kraft Foods Nurtures the Next Generation of Dominican Cocoa Farmers with Launch of Cocoa Partnership
    October 17, 2011 Kraft Foods Nurtures The Next Generation Of Dominican Cocoa Farmers With Launch Of Cocoa Partnership Partners with United States Agency For International Development (USAID) Five-Year Plan Will Help 10,000 Small-Scale Farmers NORTHFIELD, Ill., Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Kraft Foods (NYSE) is launching its successful Cocoa Partnership to the Dominican Republic in a five-year commitment with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Working together, the Cocoa Partnership and USAID hope to increase the yield and quality of Dominican cocoa, while improving farmer livelihoods and communities. The program will reach 10,000 small-scale cocoa farmers of the Conacado cooperative with training on farming techniques, post-harvest practices and supplemental income opportunities. The Cocoa Partnership – established by Cadbury in 2008 – has committed 45 million pounds Sterling (approximately $70 million) to invest in cocoa farming in Ghana, India, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean over 10 years. The program is already in 100 Ghanaian communities, with plans to double in size by year-end. The Partnership has forged successful alliances with The Ghana Cocoa Board and Kuapa Kokoo, a Fairtrade co-op comprised of 60,000 farmers and their families. "As we've seen in Ghana, the Cocoa Partnership's success depends on the collaborations we establish," said Bharat Puri, Senior Vice President, Global Chocolate, Kraft Foods. "The challenges facing today's cocoa farmer cannot be solved by any one company or organization. Only by working together – public and private sectors along with farmers and civil society – will we be able to make the difference that's needed." "Public-private partnerships like this one are a key part of USAID's development strategy in the Latin American and Caribbean region, because it has benefits for all the stakeholders," said Mark Feierstein, USAID's Assistant Administrator for Latin America and the Caribbean.

Delivering to the marketplace a careful balance of powerful consumer insight and strategically aligned messages has never been more difficult. More intense competition, media fragmentation, evolving channels and tightening budgets, all in a Western European context of zero growth are just some of the hurdles that brands need to overcome on the road to launching a breakthrough product. Yet this report allows us to take stock of some of the successes. It provides a way to showcase the triumphant examples that not only meet their goals, but shatter them. It proves success is within reach of us all in spite of the adversities. This report is the culmination of an in-depth review of around 12,000 new product initiatives that launched in Western Europe between 2011 and 2013. Among that vast pool, only a tiny handful (seven) met Nielsen’s requirements for distinctiveness, relevance and endurance to earn the title of being a Breakthrough Innovation. We identified another three innovations that have the potential to become breakthroughs in time, and are already showing all the signs of being winners.

NORTHFIELD, Ill. – January 30, 2008 – Kraft Foods Inc. (NYSE: KFT) today reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2007 results that reflect accelerated revenue growth in the first year of its three-year transformation plan. Volume growth improved as the year progressed due to the company’s investments in quality, innovation and brand building. However, volume and pricing gains were not able to fully offset significantly higher input costs, primarily dairy, and the company's investments, resulting in earnings declines for fourth quarter and full year. “We are off to an excellent start in our efforts to return Kraft to reliable growth,” said Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve shown that our investments in product quality, marketing and innovation lead to accelerated volume growth, better product mix and improved market share trends. At the same time, we’ve significantly reduced our cost structure and strengthened our portfolio with the acquisition of Danone’s global biscuit business and the announcement to exit the Post cereal business.

  • 7 – MONDELEZ – Tim Cofer
    ICCO TIM COFER SPEECH November 20, 2012 I am Tim Cofer, President Europe, for Mondel ēz International. Over the past 21 years I have worked for this company in multiple geographies and businesses, most notably our chocolate business. It is truly an honor to be here at the World Cocoa Conference. This is an invaluable opportunity to bring all stakeholders together under the ICCO framework to address critical issues in building a more sustainable future for cocoa. It is also fitting to have this meeting here, in Abidjan, given the essential role Cote d’Ivoire plays as the number one cocoa origin in the world. We wish you every success as you rebuild after the crisis in 2011. I am here today representing Mondel ēz International, formerly part of Kraft Foods. Mondel ēz International is the world’s largest chocolate company and a global leader in snacking. While we embrace the responsibility that comes with being the biggest, our ambition is to be the favorite, the most loved. So we have reimagined our new company with a singular focus on creating delicious moments of joy. We have a fantastic portfolio of iconic and much loved brands around the world such as Milka, Cadbury, Cote D’Or, and Toblerone chocolate, as well as Oreo and LU biscuits. We believe that chocolate is more of a joy to eat if there has been joy in its creation. So, for chocolate to retain its unique place in the hearts of people, all of us involved in the industry need to spend more time and effort to ensure that all those who add value to this amazing industry, also receive value in return.
