Trebor is a British confectionery brand-name owned by Mondelez International, and formerly a company of the same name.
History
Trebor was founded on 4 January 1907[2] in south west Essex by W.B. Woodcock, Thomas Henry King, Robert Robertson and Sydney Herbert Marks from Leytonstone and was located on Katherine Road in Forest Gate, London. The name Trebor, the spelling of "Robert" backwards, was registered as a trademark four days after the end of World War I. On 18 April 1944, the factory in Katherine Road was hit by a German bomb. It bought Moffat toffee in 1959, and Jamesons Chocolates in 1960.
By the end of the 1960s, the company was exporting to over fifty countries; 20% of its output from its three factories was exported.[3] The largest export market was the United States. By 1966, it had doubled its exports in four years. In the 1967 Birthday Honours, the Chairman John Marks (son of the founder) was appointed a CBE for the company's exports; he was president from 1956 to 1959 of the Cocoa, Chocolate and Confectionery Alliance.
