Mondelez International celebrated the grand opening of its new Global Research & Development Innovation Center in Whippany, New Jersey. The state-of-the-art facility, which is supported by an investment of nearly $50M, includes pilot and scale-up capability for cookies, crackers and candy and supports Mondelez International as an innovative global snacking leader. The Innovation Center provides new capabilities and technologies that propel R&D for consumer-loved snacks, including OREO cookies, Ritz crackers and Sour Patch Kids candies. With the addition of the Whippany, NJ Global Innovation Center, Mondelez further expands its footprint in New Jersey, at a location close in proximity to the company’s North American headquarters office. More than 50 talented R&D makers and bakers who support the Mondelez business in North America and around the world will work at the new Global Innovation Center, from which they will partner closely with teams in North America, as well as teams across Mondelez businesses and R&D facilities around the globe. Among the many innovations planned, the Whippany team will play an important role in supporting innovation on electric baking technology which supports the company’s 2050 goal of net zero carbon emissions across its value chain.
