Louise Stigant, UK managing director, Mondelez International, said: “At a time when manufacturing in the UK is facing significant challenges, it has never been more vital to secure the long-term competitiveness and sustainability of our business.
“We now have an opportunity at Bournville to further invest in its future as the home and heart of Cadbury by bringing more Cadbury Dairy Milk production to Bournville.”
It said it will increase the number of bars it makes at the factory near Birmingham as it launches a £15 million investment plan for the site.
The company, which also makes Oreo and Maynards Bassetts sweets, said £11 million of the funding will go towards creating a new production ‘line of the future’.
