The Kraft Heinz Company is a leading multinational food and beverage manufacturer formed by the 2015 merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz. It produces a diverse portfolio of iconic brands including Heinz ketchup and sauces, Kraft cheeses and dressings, Oscar Mayer meats, Philadelphia cream cheese, Velveeta, Lunchables, Ore-Ida frozen potatoes, Maxwell House coffee, Kool-Aid, and Jell-O, alongside international labels like ABC, Master, Quero, Golden Circle, Wattie’s, Pudliszki, and Plasmon. Operating in the packaged foods and meats industry within the food, beverage, and tobacco sector, the company manufactures condiments, sauces, dairy products, meals, meats, refreshment beverages, coffee, and grocery items sold through retail channels (about 85% of sales) and foodservice, reaching consumers in over 190 countries. Headquartered at One PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with approximately 36,000 employees, The Kraft Heinz Company maintains a significant global presence, particularly in North America, Europe, and emerging markets, which contribute nearly 25% of its consolidated sales. As one of North America's largest players, it plans to split its global sauces arm from its North American grocery segment in the second half of 2026, underscoring its adaptive strategy in the competitive consumer defensive market.
