The Mondelez world: tradition, innovation and authentic taste

Mondelez International is much more than just a snack producer: it is a global giant that brings small moments of joy to the lives of millions every day. Present in over 150 countries, stands for quality, trust, tradition, as well as innovation and sustainability. Its Italian branch, Italia, proudly represents this balance between international excellence and local taste, offering a wide range of products that appeal to all ages.

Rooted in the territory, boasts a top-tier supply chain with headquarters in Milan and two major factories in Caramagna Piemonte (Cuneo) and Capriata d’Orba (Alessandria). Here, iconic brands such as Oro Saiwa, Sottilette, Fattorie Osella, Cipster, Fonzies, and Mikado are created daily—symbols of Italian flavor and tradition. The Capriata d’Orba plant produces over 16 million Oro Saiwa biscuits daily with 100% Italian wheat, while in Caramagna Piemonte, 80 tons of Piedmont milk are processed each day for Fattorie Osella cheeses.

This concrete commitment to short and controlled supply chains translates into collaborations with over 450 Italian farms for wheat supply and with 20 Piedmontese dairies for milk—highlighting a vision that values local excellence. Moreover, thanks to a logistics partnership with STEF lasting over 20 years, fresh products are distributed efficiently, safely, and sustainably.

Key milestones include the development of the spreadable cheese segment in 1923, the official launch of the current identity in 2012 as a snack, sweet, and bakery specialist, and constant growth through strategic acquisitions between 2013 and 2022. Always with a focus on quality, responsible innovation, and consumer well-being.

From chocolate to biscuits, from snack cakes to savoury snacks, every creation is born from careful ingredient selection and deep respect for people and the planet. Iconic brands like Oreo, Milka, Toblerone, Fonzies, and Yonkers are now part of Italians' daily lives, symbols of togetherness, joy, and simplicity. Behind every product lies a strong commitment: supports global programs for cocoa sustainability (Cocoa Life), responsible sourcing of palm oil (RSPO), and food safety (FSSC 22000 certifications).

Every snack tells a story of care, attention, and passion. And every bite is a promise kept: to offer a moment of joy, every day.
