Mondelēz International is a US headquartered food and beverage manufacturer recognized for Business Expansion, Environmental, Innovation, Investments and M&A in the 2022 Just Food Excellence Awards.
Mondelēz made several important acquisitions during the research period including energy bar manufacturer Clif Bar and Mexican confectioner Ricolino. The Clif Bar deal is part of the company’s ongoing expansion in the field of baked snacks, while the acquisition of Ricolino will provide the company with a strong foothold in the Mexican market.
In terms of investments the Chicago based company has been focusing on increasing the production capacity of its Oreo and Ritz brands with a new plant in Henrico County, Virginia. The facility will feature a high-speed production line and a dedicated fulfilment centre.
In line with targets set at the COP26 international climate talks, Mondelez has also updated its own net-zero strategy with a view to reaching interim goals in the next two years.
