History edit

Kinh Do Construction and Food Processing Company Limited was founded in 1993. The company began construction on a factory at 6/134 National Highway 13, Hiep Binh Phuoc Ward, Thủ Đức District, Ho Chi Minh City, in 1996. At the same time, the company also invested in a cookie production line with modern Danish technology and equipment worth US$5 million. In 1997–1998, the company continued investing in a production line for bread and sponge cake with a total investment value of over $1.2 million. A chocolate candy production line also began operation at that time with a total investment of about $800,000.

In 2000, the company increased investment capital to VND 51 billion, and expanded the factory to nearly 60,000 m² (650,000 sq ft), of which the factory area was 40,000 m² (430,000 sq ft). To diversify products, the company invested in a cracker production line from Europe worth over $2 million. The following year, a new hard candy production line and a modern fondant production line started operation with a total value of US$2 million, with a capacity of 40 tons/day to meet the needs of the market domestically and internationally. By June 2001, the company's total investment capital was up to $30 million. The company put into operation one more cracker production line with a value of $3 million and a capacity of 1.5 tons/hour. Kinh Do factory in Hưng Yên was also put into operation to serve the market in Hanoi and the northern provinces.

In 2001, the company promoted exports to the US, France, Canada, Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand.

In 2002, the company's products and production lines were certified by BVQI^{[expand acronym]} to ISO 9002 and later to ISO 9002:2000. Raising charter capital to 150 billion VND, the company entered the mooncake market and changed its name to Kinh Do Corporation.

In 2015, Mondelēz International acquired Kinh Do's confectionery business and changed its name to Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam Joint Stock Company. Mondelēz Kinh Do is currently a member of the global Mondelēz International group, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
