Mondelez International, Inc. is a leading American multinational company specializing in confectionery, food, beverage, and snack products. Headquartered in Chicago, it was established in 2012 following the spin-off of Kraft Foods’ snack business. The company’s name is derived from the Latin word “mundus” meaning world and a fanciful take on “delicious,” reflecting its global reach and focus on tasty products.
The company boasts a diverse portfolio of well-known brands, including cookies and snacks like Oreo, Chips Ahoy!, Ritz, and Triscuit; chocolates such as Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, and Côte d’Or; as well as gum and candy brands including Trident, Dentyne, and Sour Patch Kids. Mondelez also features powdered beverages like Tang and malted beverages such as Cadbury Bournvita.
Operating in around 160 countries and generating annual revenues of approximately $26.5 billion, Mondelez focuses on delivering popular consumer goods in the snack and confectionery segment. Its products are designed to create enjoyable moments for consumers worldwide.
The company originated from Kraft Foods, founded in Chicago in 1923, but after the 2012 restructuring, it has concentrated on snack foods, while Kraft Foods Group continued as a separate grocery entity. Mondelez has a strong international presence and brands with significant market shares in the snack and confectionery industry.
With a workforce of roughly 90,000 employees, Mondelez International is committed to innovation and growth within the food and snack sector, maintaining a robust position on global markets, including a ranking in the Fortune 500 list of largest U.S. corporations by revenue.
