Mondelēz International opens latest R&D hub in Poland | Progresiv
American food giant Mondelēz International has today opened a new research and development hub in Poland, forming part of a 65 million dollars investment. 
The Wrocław Technical Center will support new products and technologies for Mondelēz’s brands such as Milka, Cadbury Dairy Milk and Oreo. It will form part of the company’s previously announced 65 million dollars investment in nine large R&D hubs, strategically positioned around the world.
Mondelēz aims for these centres to better recruit, retain and develop talent across a range of science and technical disciplines, while accelerating the company’s growth and innovation.
The Wrocław facility will be home to nearly 250 experts – scientists, engineers and other specialists from around the world and is equipped with innovation labs, a large pilot plant and a ‘collaboration kitchen’ – a creative space of 9,500 square meters for new ideas and experimentation.
The Wrocław hub joins four other fully operational Mondelēz International Technical Centers: East Hanover, New Jersey; Curitiba in Brazil; as well as Bournville and Reading, both in the UK.
The remainder of the company’s network of redesigned technical hubs – in India, Singapore, Mexico and China – are expected to open in the second half of 2017 and in 2018. (www.foodbev.com)
