Mondelez is a global snacking giant — the company behind Oreo, Cadbury, Ritz, Milka, Toblerone and belVita. It buys cocoa, wheat, sugar and dairy in bulk, turns them into branded biscuits and chocolate in factories worldwide, and sells through the big grocers, clubs and convenience chains to billions of shoppers. Growth is topped up by a steady run of bolt-on acquisitions (Clif Bar, Chipita, Ricolino).
From cocoa bean to Oreo
Mondelez sits in the middle of the snack chain: farmers and traders supply cocoa, wheat, sugar and dairy; Barry Callebaut turns cocoa into chocolate; Mondelez manufactures and brands the snacks; then grocers, clubs and convenience stores sell them to billions of consumers.
