History and Foundation of Mondelez International Inc.

The name “Mondelez” was formed from a blend of the words “world” and “delicious,” reflecting the company’s focus on globally consumed foods and snacks.
Despite its recent creation, Mondelez inherits a century-long legacy, having absorbed numerous iconic brands from Kraft Foods and other acquisitions made over the decades.
Its trajectory has been marked by rapid international expansion, strengthening operations across Europe, Latin America and Asia.
Starting in 2015, the company accelerated investments in sustainability and innovation, adopting initiatives to reduce environmental impact and develop products aligned with evolving consumer demands, such as healthier options and recyclable packaging.
Key historical milestones include:
2012: Spin-off from Kraft Foods and creation of Mondelez International.
2014: Expansion into the Asian market, increasing distribution of Oreo and Toblerone.
2018: Acquisition of Tate’s Bake Shop, strengthening its premium-cookies portfolio.
2020: Launch of a sustainable-growth strategy focused on natural ingredients and emissions reduction.
