Pladis Confectionery and Snacks

Pladis is a leading global snacking company that was established in 2016. The brand's identity is built upon a rich heritage of iconic biscuit and chocolate brands that have been household names for over a century. By uniting legendary names like McVitie's and Godiva under one umbrella, the company has created a powerhouse in the international food market.

Manufacturing for Pladis products is highly decentralized to serve a global consumer base. The company operates dozens of factories across several continents, including major production hubs in the United Kingdom, Turkey, France, Kazakhstan, and Egypt. This diverse manufacturing footprint allows them to maintain the traditional recipes of their historic brands while optimizing logistics for international distribution.

Owned by the Turkish conglomerate Yıldız Holding, Pladis represents the international arm of their confectionery business. The formation of Pladis brought together United Biscuits, Ulker, Godiva Chocolatier, and DeMet’s Candy Company. Today, the company continues to innovate within the snacking category, leveraging its deep roots in British, Belgian, and Turkish confectionery traditions to reach billions of consumers worldwide.
