Tassimo is Europe's fastest growing single-serve system, brewing a wide variety of beverages including Jacobs and Costa coffees and Cadbury hot chocolate.

  • Mondelēz Union Network
    Mondelēz Union Network What is ? Mondelez is a global snack foods company which came into being on October 2, 2012 when the former Kraft Foods Inc. was split into two, resulting in the creation of two separate companies, both headquartered in the USA. Mondelēz took the “snacks” products (biscuits, confectionery, salty crackers, nuts, gum, Tang), giving it about two-thirds the revenue of the former Kraft. The remaining “grocery” products were stuffed into a North American (only) company now known as Kraft Foods Group. Former Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld now heads up Mondelēz. If you worked for the former Kraft or one of its subsidiaries manufacturing or distributing snack products, including former Danone or Cadbury products, you now work for Mondelēz or one of its subsidiaries. In some countries, the name change will not be immediate.

  • 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.

    March 31, 2015 Mondelez International Brings First 'Made in Morocco' Oreo Biscuits to Market - Company invests $11 million to install the largest Oreo production line in Africa - The investment makes the world's #1 biscuit more accessible to Moroccans through greater availability and competitive pricing - Oreo will expand Morocco's biscuits market and generate more business for Mondelez International's local trade partners CASABLANCA, Morocco, March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mondelez International today announced that it has begun to make and sell Oreo, the world's #1 biscuit in Morocco after investing almost $11 million in a state-of-the-art local production capacity to create the company's largest Oreo production line in Africa. The investment will make the world's best-selling cookie widely available to Morocco's 34 million people and expand the local biscuits market by generating more business for Mondelez International's Morocco trade partners. Mondelez Maroc, Mondelez International's local subsidiary, will have the capacity to make as many as 900 million Oreo biscuits per year, or almost 2.5 million Oreo cookies per day in its Casablanca facility after completing installation of the high-tech production line and starting up in March. If laid side by side, that's enough Oreo biscuits in a year to stretch the full length of Morocco more than 15 times! "We're so excited to be making this delicious, high-quality and iconic biscuit available to all Moroccans, made right here in the Kingdom by Mondelez Maroc," said Antoine Collette, President Biscuits for Mondelez International in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
