In 1881 Cadbury received the first overseas order from the Cadbury representative in Australia. And trade grew rapidly before the 1914-18 war, especially in the old British Empire.
The first overseas Cadbury factory was opened in Hobart Tasmania in 1921, followed by New Zealand in 1930, with Canada and Dublin, Eire in 1932 and South Africa in 1939.
Cadbury now has factories all over the world: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Japan and several countries in Africa, and a franchise arrangement with Hershey in the USA.
In Europe subsidiary companies included Hueso in Spain, Poulain and Bouquet D'Or in France, De Faam and Frisia in Holland.
Recent developments included the acquisition of Stani in Argentina and new factories in Peking, China and Wroclaw, Poland. Many other countries receive their Cadbury chocolates straight from Bournville and Somerdale.
Cadbury products are enjoyed all over the world, and some are unique to their own corner of the globe. But wherever Cadbury's chocolate is made, quality control experts ensure that the high standards of quality and taste demanded by the company are maintained.
