After Cadbury in England merged with J.S. Fry in 1919, the new company sought to expand internationally and decided to build a factory in Australia. Australia had developed into an important market since making Cadbury’s first overseas order in 1881.
In 1922, Cadbury and Fry, joined by Pascall, create a new Australian company named Cadbury-Fry and Pascall.
The company chose a factory site in Claremont, in Tasmania, whose location was ideal because of its close proximity to the city of Hobart, a good source of inexpensive hydroelectricity and a plentiful supply of high-quality fresh milk. The Claremont factory was modelled on Bournville, with its own village and sporting facilities. [Cadbury. Cadbury in Australia]
