WROCLAW, POLAND — Mondelez International has begun construction of a new global Research, Development & Quality (R.D.&Q.) site in Bielany Wroclawskie. The R.D.&Q. site is expected to open in the first quarter 2017 and will support new products and technologies for the company’s “power brands” such as Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka, Barni and Oreo. The site also will be equipped with innovation laboratories, a new pilot plant and a “collaboration kitchen,” a creative space for new ideas and experimentation.
