UK: Mondelēz invests 75 million pounds in four new production lines | Progresiv
Mondelēz International has unveiled four new production lines at its Bournville chocolate factory in the UK – the result of 75 million pounds worth of investment. 
Two of the new lines will be dedicated to the Cadbury Dairy Milk brand, producing the core classic range including Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel, Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut, Cadbury Dairy Milk Whole Nut and plain Cadbury Dairy Milk bars. The investment, Mondelēz said, would allow it to ensure that Dairy Milk production remained at the Bournville site – the iconic home of the Cadbury brand in Birmingham.
The other two lines will be used to manufacture chocolate assortments like Cadbury Roses and Heroes – the first significant investment in Cadbury’s assortments for 30 years. The Cadbury Dairy Milk tablet lines produce up to 8 tonnes of chocolate an hour, making up to 1.2 million bars per day depending on the size of the bar. The Cadbury Roses and Heroes lines produce up to 6 tonnes an hour, making 13 million sweets a day. The increased capacity is the result of three years’ expansion work. (www.foodbev.com)
