History and Development

Mondelez International, Inc. was established in 2012 following the separation of Kraft Foods, which divided its operations into two independent companies. Mondelez assumed the global snacks and confectionery business, while Kraft Foods Group focused on the North American grocery segment.

The name “Mondelez” was created as a combination of words referencing “world” and “delicious,” reflecting the company’s global focus on snack foods.

Although the company was formally created in 2012, its brand portfolio includes products with decades of history inherited from Kraft and earlier acquisitions.

Over time, Mondelez expanded its international presence and strengthened global distribution of major brands such as Oreo, Milka and Toblerone, while continuing to invest in product development and category innovation.

In recent years, the company has focused on expanding premium snack offerings, improving supply-chain efficiency and advancing sustainability initiatives related to responsible sourcing, packaging and emissions reduction.
