Cadbury Schweppes, a world leader in the beverage and confectionery fields, has announced plans to build a chewing gum factory in Skarbimierz by Opole. The facility will be sited on land made available to the company by the regional authorities, the site of a former Soviet airfield for heavy bombers. Investment outlays by Cadbury Schweppes are expected to top 100 million euro, and the plant will employ 500 people. Cadbury Schweppes has approximately 50000 employees in 35 countries around the world. Its Polish operations date back to the early 1990s. In 1994, Cadbury Schweppes launched a sweets factory in Kobierzyce by Wrocław; in 1998, it bought the venerable E. Wedel brand associated with a confection company in Warsaw.
