Mondelez leaving Deerfield for Chicago

Mondelez International, maker of Oreo, Ritz, Triscuits and other brands, plans to move its global headquarters from Deerfield to Chicago's Fulton Market neighborhood, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The snack maker will move 400 employees into a five-story office building under construction at 905 W. Fulton Market, in the heart of what was once the city's meatpacking district, according to the report. The newspaper said the company will relocate all 330 corporate employees at its Deerfield headquarters in April 2020. "We sought a location that reflects our new, dynamic and more consumer-centric growth culture, and which will make existing and future colleagues proud to be working at the global headquarters of a $26 billion dollar global snacking leader," Mondelez Chairman and CEO Dirk Van de Put said in a statement.
