Brand Origin and History

Cadbury is a British confectionery company founded in Birmingham, England (John Cadbury, 1824). The Bournville name dates to the early 1900s and refers to Cadbury’s Bournville range of darker chocolate products; Bournville cocoa powder was introduced in the early 20th century as part of Cadbury’s product line.

Manufacturing and Distribution

For the UK market, Cadbury Bournville cocoa tins are produced and distributed by Mondelez’s UK operations (Mondelez UK) under the Cadbury/Bournville brand. While many UK-sold Bournville cocoa tins are made primarily in the United Kingdom, Cadbury/Mondelez manufacture and pack products in multiple regional sites worldwide, so production can occur in other countries depending on market and pack size.

Ownership and Corporate Structure

Cadbury (the brand) is ultimately owned by Mondelez International, a multinational snacks company headquartered in the United States. Mondelez operates regional subsidiaries (including Mondelez UK) that handle local manufacturing, licensing and distribution of Cadbury-branded products. The Cadbury brand and Bournville product line retain their British heritage and recipe positioning, while commercial ownership and global manufacturing are managed by Mondelez.
