 HISTORY OF CADBURY


 

Cadbury, the world's largest chocolate candy company, was founded in Birmingham in 1824 by a young Quaker called John Cadbury. At his establishment, John sold coffee, tea, drinking chocolate and cocoa. John hoped that his product would serve as an alternative to alcohol, which he believed was a major source of poverty. He also sold mustard and hops. John had high quality standards for all of his items, as did many Quakers.



Quakers were barred from attending university in England at the time since it was associated with the established church, and their pacifist views prevented them from entering the military. Due to the scarcity of prospects, Quakers frequently pursued careers in business and devoted their time to social reform missions. 

John was selling 11 types of cocoa and 16 types of drinking chocolate by 1842. Cadbury Brothers of Birmingham was formed when John's brother Benjamin joined the company. In 1854, the Cadbury brothers established a London office and secured a Royal Warrant (one of many) from queen Victoria as producers of chocolate and cocoa. Six years later, due to John's poor health and the death of his wife, the brothers ended their collaboration. George and Richard, John's sons, took over the firm. John died in 1889 after dedicating the rest of his life to social work.

By 1864, George and Richard had expanded the product line to the point where they were making a profit. Cadbury's Cocoa Essence was an all natural product created with pure cocoa butter and no starchy additives that was touted as "absolutely pure and therefore best". The origins of chocolate as we know it today can be traced back to cocoa essence. The brothers quickly relocated their manufacturing activities four miles south of Birmingham to a larger location. Bournville was the name given to the facility and the surrounding neighborhood.

In 1873, George and Richard discontinued marketing tea because to Cadbury's continuous success in chocolate. Frederic Kinchelman, a  master confectioner, was assigned to share his recipe and production secrets with Cadbury employees. Cadbury was able to produce chocolate-covered nougats, bonbons delices, caramels, pistache, avelines and other confections as a result  of this. Cadbury began producing milk chocolate in 1897. Cadbury was formed as a limited company two years later, and the Bournville factory employed 2,600 workers.

During World War I, more than 2,000 Cadbury workers enlisted in the military. Cadbury aided the war effort by sending soldiers warm clothing, books and chocolate. Cadbury supplemented the government stipend for their employees' dependents. Workers were able to return to work and take educational courses when they returned, and injured or ill employees were cared for in convalescent homes. During this time, Cadbury expanded its international trade and constructed its first overseas factory near Hobart, Tasmania. The following year, Cadbury combined  with JS Fry & Sons, a former chocolate industry leader.

During World War II, Cadbury contributed to the war effort by turning parts of its plant into workrooms for the productions of equipment such as milling machines for gun manufactures and parts such as pilot seats for Defiant fighter planes. During air attacks, workers ploughed football fields to cultivate crops, and the Cadbury St. John's Ambulance team assisted residents. Chocolate was regarded as a need for both the military and civilians. Rationing came to an end in 1949.

Cadbury and Schweppes combined in 1969 to establish Cadbury Schweppes. Schweppes was a well-known British soft drink and carbonated mineral water manufacturer. Canada Dry, Sunkist, Typhoo Tea and other brands were acquired by the amalgamated companies. Hershey was given the license to make Cadbury confectionery products, and Schweppes Beverages was formed.

Cadbury Schweppes is now the world's largest confectionery firm, with more than 70,000 employees. In 2006, the company's total sales exceeded $15 billion. Cadbury Schweppes stated stated in March 2007 that it will split its chocolate and beverage operations. Cadbury Schweppes will succeed in the coming decades after nearly 200 years in the business.

 HISTORY OF KITKAT   Rowntree's, a confectionery manufacturer located in York, United Kingdom, patented the terms "Kit Cat" and "Kit Kat" in 1935 , and the "Kit Kat" brand was born. The original Kit Kat appeared in the 1920s when Rowntree developed a brand of boxed chocolates called "Kit Cat", despite the names not being used at the time. This trend lasted until the 1930s, when Rowntree's concentrated on its "Black Magic" and "Dairy Box" trademarks. The "Kit Cat" brand suffered as a result of the advertising of competing items and was eventually phased out. The initial four-finger bar was created after a worker at Rowntree's York Factory suggested a snack that "a man could take to work in his pack".  The bar was first offered in London and throughout Southern England on August 29, 1935 , under the name "Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp" . In 1937, the product's official name was c...

HISTORY OF HERSHEY BAR   The Hershey Bar is The Hershey Company's trademark candy bar, founded by Milton Hershey of Pennsylvania. The initial form was a square of milk chocolate. Hershey's milk chocolate candy bar was first introduced in 1900, followed by other Hershey's bars like Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds in 1908. Milton Snavely Hershey, who aspired to make a new sort of caramel in the late 1880, invented the procedure for making Hershey's chocolate. Milton had previously learned how to make a soft caramel with milk while working at a candy shop, and he thought it was superior to the competition. As caramel reached its zenith and became oversaturated, Milton Hershey looked for a new major hit product in the snack and candy business. He discovered that chocolate was popular among Europeans, and Swiss chocolate with a lot of milk seemed to be especially popular among the many chocolate goods. Milton believed that chocolate was the future of confectioner...
