Lotus Bakeries Mondelez partnership for Biscoff in India/co-branded chocolate innovations

Mondelez and Lotus Bakeries join forces to expand the Biscoff brand in India and create co-branded chocolate innovations in key markets. The main items of the deal are :1) Mondelez to manufacture, market, distribute and sell Lotus Biscoff brand in India, significantly expanding its presence in the Indian cookie market; and 2) both companies will develop co-branded chocolate innovations combining Biscoff with Cadbury, Milka and other key brands in Europe, with option to expand globally. The first co-branded products are expected to launch in early 2025, with Cadbury and Biscoff in the United Kingdom, as well as Milka and Biscoff in Europe. A key benefit is that Lotus Bakeries can build on Mondelez' commercial expertise and market-specific knowledge and presence in India. We also welcome that Lotus Bakeries is as well adding its Biscoff brand to one of the world's leading chocolate companies.
