7 Kraft Foods Inc´s (2011) NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: As the world’s second biggest processed foods company, Illinois-based Kraft Foods Inc’s $18.9 billion takeover of British confectionery maker Cadbury is finalised after a protracted boardroom battle, Kraft Foods’ finally gets a clean sweep of the only big emerging market it did not yet have a presence in, India.

8 Cadbury India came under the Kraft Foods fold after the US-based firm acquired British candy maker, Cadbury Plc for $19.6 billion in January this year. Asked if Cadbury India will be selling more products from Kraft portfolio, Kripalu said: "As of now we are still focusing on our core confectionery business." He, however, said integration process is still going on in terms of synergising distribution channels of Cadbury and Kraft in India. Commenting on the overall plans of Cadbury India, he said: "Capacity is a challenge for us, as we look to drive up volumes. We need to expand it and we will be doing it significantly." He said the expansions will take place at the company's existing six facilities in India but declined to share details such as investments and envisaged additional output. Cadbury sells chocolate brands, including Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star and Perk, along with snacks Cadbury Bytes and health drink Bournvita among others in India.
