Cadbury India Limited on Monday announced it has changed its name to Mondelēz India Foods Limited. The company, however, clarified that the move will have no impact on product names or brands.
“The change in name of the company will have no impact on the names or packaging of its popular products like Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Gems, Bournville, Perk, Celebrations, Choclairs, Halls, Bournvita, Tang and Oreo, which will continue to be sold under the same brand names as before,” the company said.
The change of name is in line with the gradual changeover of the name of all subsidiaries of Mondelēz International globally.
In early 2010, British candy and confectionery company Cadbury was acquired by US-based Kraft Foods for about £11.9 billion. However, Kraft Foods changed its name to Mondelēz International following the division of parent company Kraft Foods Inc into two independent companies - Mondelēz International Inc and Kraft Foods Group Inc - in October 2012.
The only change consumers will experience is that the new name of the company will appear on the back of pack of the products, it added.
“With the change in name of the company to Mondelēz India Foods Limited, we conclude the process of transition that began over two years ago... We view this change as yet another milestone in this exciting journey of success and leadership.”
