Milka Tafel Schokolade (Milka milk chocolate bar)

Overview

Milka Tafel Schokolade is the classic Milka milk chocolate tablet ("Tafel" = bar/tablet). The Milka brand was created by the Suchard company and introduced in 1901; its name comes from the German words Milch (milk) and Kakao (cocoa). (en.wikipedia.org)

Manufacturing & production

Although Milka’s brand origin is Swiss (Chocolat Suchard), large-scale production of Milka chocolate tablets has long been centered in Lörrach, Germany, and the brand’s manufacturing footprint now includes major facilities in Germany and Austria and additional factories across several European countries (e.g., Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and others). Production is therefore primarily in Germany and Austria but also occurs in multiple European locations. (de.wikipedia.org)

Ownership & corporate details

Milka has been part of the Mondelez International portfolio since the Kraft/Mondelez corporate reorganizations; Mondelez is the ultimate owner and is a US-headquartered multinational with its global headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. (mondelezinternational.com)

Subsidiary / local operations

On the ground in Germany, Milka production and packaging operations are run under Mondelez’s local production entities (e.g., Mondelez Deutschland Snacks Production GmbH & Co. KG at the Lörrach site) and supplemented by other regional Mondelez subsidiaries or licensed manufacturing partners across Europe. (mapcarta.com)
