HISTORY
EARLY HISTORY
In 1824, John Cadbury began vending tea, coffee, and drinking chocolate, which he produced himself, at Bull Street in Birmingham, England. John Cadbury later moved into the production of a variety of Cocoas and Drinking Chocolates being manufactured from a factory in Bridge Street, supplying mainly to the wealthy due to the high cost of manufacture at this time. During this time a partnership was struck between John Cadbury and his brother Benjamin. At this time the company was known as 'Cadbury Brothers of Birmingham '.
The two brothers opened an office in London and in 1854 received the Royal Warrant as manufacturers of chocolate and cocoa to Queen Victoria. Around this time in the 1850s the industry received a much needed boost with the reduction in high import taxes on cocoa; this allowed chocolate to become more affordable to everyone.

    Rodolphe Lindt, a confectioner, together with his brother August, had a thought that the moisture in the chocolate paste, which crystallised with the sugar, should be extracted during processing and adding cocoa butter (Lindt, 2011). After three days and nights, Rodolphe obtained a substance which was easy to mould, but also melted effortlessly in our mouth. Rodolphe called this chocolate substance ‘Chocolat Fondant’ which literally means melting chocolate. He then joined forces with Chocolat Sprungli AG, a chocolate manufacturing company in 1899. This then came about the ‘Sprungli and Lindt’ name, which continued to expand and now has production companies in Europe and USA, distribution and sales in Europe, Asia, Canada, Mexico and Australia as well as sales office in Dubai and Ireland (Lindt, 2011).…
