Mondelēz International

Mondelēz International (NASDAQ: MDLZ) is one of the world's largest snacking companies, producing chocolate, biscuits/baked snacks, gum, candy, cheese and powdered beverages under brands including Oreo, Ritz, LU, Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Clif Bar and Tate's Bake Shop. It is a global CPG food manufacturer with ~91,000 employees, roughly $38-39B in annual revenue, operations in 150+ countries, and HQ in Chicago's Fulton Market. Biscuits & baked snacks (~49% of revenue) and chocolate (~30%) are its core categories. The company is mid-flight in a multiyear supply-chain and US manufacturing modernization program (in-housing co-manufactured lines and packaging, simplifying or upgrading plants) and is rolling out distribution-center automation and AI; most of its automation activity to date is throughput/logistics-oriented (ASRS warehousing, line OEE/digital-factory, RPA back-office) rather than contact-rich dexterous manipulation.
