VISITING a chocolate factory is a fun and educational experience, given the opportunity to learn about chocolate production, indulge in sweet treats and immerse oneself in the wonders of chocolate.
The classic Cadbury Dairy Milk that Malaysians are familiar with are produced at Cadbury Confectionery Malaysia in Shah Alam, a plant that employs over 250 workers.
Established in 1974, the Shah Alam factory is the sole manufacturing hub for Cadbury in Southeast Asia. It makes 130 types of chocolate, producing over 14 tonnes of chocolates annually, equivalent to 100 million 135g bars. With nine production lines, the factory spans 20,000 sq ft and is as big as five basketball courts.
The plant has been certified halal since 1994 and adheres to the food safety and quality standards. It embraces sustainable practices through recyclable packaging, renewable energy and sustainable cocoa sourcing, supported by Mondelēz International’s global Cocoa Life initiative, which promotes the improvement of farming, communities and our planet.
Mondelēz International (Malaysia & Singapore) marketing head See Mei Sin said its cocoa is sourced from Indonesia, Ghana and Ivory Coast, as local production is insufficient.
See said in Southeast Asia, Malaysia is its biggest market, while the central region (Klang Valley) is the biggest market locally, making up half of the consumption and the appetite for chocolate keeps growing every year.
“We are not scaling down production (amid the Middle East crisis),” she told the media at a factory tour yesterday, following the launch of a richer, creamier and more indulgent recipe for its Cadbury Dairy Milk.
“More and more consumers are craving for richer, creamier and chocolatey bars,” said See.
This upgrade also introduces a new king size 200g bar and a redesigned chunk shape across the entire range.
Cadbury Dairy Milk’s Purple Truck is travelling across Malaysia from July 1 to Aug 31 – an initiative that aims to connect with communities and celebrate the simple pleasures of chocolate through activities, treats and experiences.
