Hope you enjoy all this. Keep sending us your views. Thanks & regards, Monojit Banerjee Bizzy Bytes Ed/1 February 2010 Cover Story : Merger & Acquisition Cadbury vs Kraft -- Monojit Banerjee Introduction: Newsflash (Tuesday, January 19th, 2010): Cadbury Agrees to Kraft takeover offer: The Cadbury board has accepted a new offer by US food company Kraft to acquire the company for 840 pence per share, valuing the company at £11.5bn ($18.9bn)., with shareholders to also get a 10 pence special dividend, bringing it to a total of 850 pence. It has advised Cadbury shareholders to accept the deal by 2nd February. Kraft and US confectioner Hershey were competing to acquire Cadbury but this new increased offer by Kraft has apparently forced Hershey out of the race. Cadbury shareholders are expected to agree to the takeover. Even Italian manufacturer Ferrero was interested in buying Cadbury to create a European chocolate powerhouse. It was speculated that it might team up with Hershey. But nothing ultimately materialized. The key shareholder of Kraft is Warren Buffet. Impact: Kraft said the deal would create a "global confectionery leader". There are renewed fears over possible job cuts at Cadbury's UK operations as a result of the agreed takeover. The offer will consist of 500 pence in cash, with the rest made of Kraft shares. Kraft will borrow £7bn ($11.5bn) to finance the deal. The increase in Kraft's debt to pay for Cadbury is a cause for concern for its employees. The need for Kraft to cut costs could mean staff cuts in the longer-term. Kraft also said it expected "meaningful cost savings" as a result of the merger. When a large entity like this has to make cost savings of the magnitude they will need to make, industry watchers are tempted to ask how those cost savings will be made. Kraft already has a track record of cutting production and moving production abroad. There is concern that they may not keep production in the UK in the long run. The company has given no specific assurances over the future of 4,500 UK jobs, though it says it wants to invest in the Bournville site and maintain production at Somerdale, near Bristol, also known as Keynsham. Bizzy Bytes Page : Ca/1 February 2010 It has not ruled out cuts, and staff numbers at Cadbury's head office in Uxbridge are expected to be reduced. Buying Cadbury raises a lot of questions around how the integration of both companies will proceed: In the United States, Cadbury's chocolate presence is negligible with Hershey owning the rights to the Cadbury Dairy Milk brand (and the recipe); experts speculate that Kraft will have to cancel this deal and compensate Hershey Co. financially. For candy and gum, Mars- Wrigley is slightly stronger than Cadbury in the US, which means Kraft might need to retain the Cadbury team for a while (which was mostly the Adams team before Cadbury bought Adams) as not to fall prey to competition since Mars-Wrigley is a stable entity by now. For the rest of North America (Canada and Mexico), Cadbury has very strong presence again led by the gum and candy portfolios which were originally part of Adams. Canada is a balanced market with a decent gum, candy, chocolate and cough drops portfolio for Cadbury (Hershey does not own the rights to Cadbury Dairy Milk in Canada). Mexico is primarily a candy and gum market, led mainly by Clorets gum. Cadbury's direct distribution network in Mexico is very strong which could be a good entry point for other confectionery owned by Kraft. In the Europe, things are different, the Cadbury team in the UK is quite large and it is expected that a lot of jobs could be lost. In the Eastern Europe, anti-trust laws might force Kraft to divest part of the confectionary business by selling whole or parts of companies owned by Cadbury such as Wedel in Poland and Kandia in Romania. Cadbury's state of the art gum factory in Poland is definitely a fort that Kraft needs to keep especially that Wrigley produces a large portion of its gum products in Poland and is supplying the rest of Europe from it. In Russia, Kraft has stronger presence than Cadbury. Cadbury's presence is in Russia is only recent with the previous acquisition of Nordic gum manufacturer, Dirol which is strong in Russia. In the Middle East, Cadbury is by far more successful than Kraft. Cadbury dominated the region by acquiring Adams in 2003. Adams's 3 strongholds, Egypt, Morocco and Lebanon combined with Cadbury's strong presence in Egypt gave Cadbury domination of the Moroccan, Egyptian, Syrian and Lebanese markets in gum and domination of Egypt's chocolate market. In 2009, Cadbury consolidated its business in Middle East and North Africa by setting regional headquarters in Cairo and focusing its efforts behind a few main brands such as Dairy Milk, Halls and Clorets and discontinuing smaller brands to achieve more regional focus. The move has led to financial and communication synergies which allowed Cadbury to gain more share during the year. Kraft on the other hand, has been struggling in North Africa with low end products (cakes, cookies and condiments) which it has inherited from a local Egyptian company they have previously acquired to enter the Egyptian market. However, Tang and Kraft's cheese brands have shown a strong presence in the GCC region primarily in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Kraft's recent acquisition of Danonne Buscuits adds more complexity as the Middle East team is not fully integrated and the brands inherited from Dannone have failed to make a break through in the market. By buying Cadbury, Kraft gains a major foothold into developing markets, particularly India, South Africa and the Middle East where Cadbury is dominating the confectionary market and has strong distribution networks. In India in particular, Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate is the winning horse in the market with strong brand equity led by years of celebrity endorsements. In the Middle East, Cadbury has strong presence with Flake chocolate in Saudi Arabia and Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate in Egypt. For gum, Cadbury's Clorets brand (which was part of Adams) is the largest gum brand across North Africa and the Middle Bizzy Bytes Page : Ca/2 February 2010 East in total. However, Mars-Wrigley's "Extra" gum is the leader in UAE.

  • Case with Questions J Cadbury 1
    j Case with questions Cadbury 1 Cadbury is a very well known British confectionery company. Originally a family fi rm started by John Cadbury and grounded in Quaker values and ideals, it started life in 1824 as a shop selling chocolate as a virtuous alternative to alcohol. It went on to become a large-scale manufacturer of chocolate based at the now legendary Bournville factory, built in 1879, and its picturesque workers’ village with its red-brick terraces, cottages, duck ponds and wide open parks. Over the next 100 years Cadbury developed the products that have become so familiar: Dairy Milk in 1905, Milk Tray in 1915, Flake in 1920, Creme Egg in 1923, Roses in 1938 and more. From 1969 it traded as Cadbury Schweppes plc until, in 2008, it separated its global con- fectionery business (which retained the name ‘Cadbury’) from its US beverages business, which was renamed Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. Cadbury Schweppes had already sold off most of its beverages businesses in other countries around the world, a process started in 1999 and concluded in 2009 with the sale of its Australian beverages business. The reason for the exit from the beverages business was to enable Cadbury to focus more clearly on what it saw as its core strengths in confectionery, and better enhance shareholder value. Beverages had become the ‘poor sister’ in the relationship, with a separate management structure but delivering growth below the targets for the company. In 2008 the newly de-merged Cadbury set as its goal maintaining its market leadership position, and leveraging its scale and advantaged positions so as to maximise growth and returns.

In this project, we analyse various dimensions of the strategic brand management process of Cadbury. Also tried to analyse the Brand Image and Awareness for Cadbury. Various Frameworks and examples have been applied for this study.
