The H. J. Heinz Company is an American food processing company headquartered at One PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company was founded by Henry J. Heinz in 1869. Heinz manufactures thousands of food products in plants on six continents, and markets these products in more than 200 countries and territories. The company claims to have 150 number-one or number-two brands worldwide. Heinz ranked first in ketchup in the US with a market share in excess of 50%; the Ore-Ida label held 46% of the frozen potato sector in 2003.

Since 1896, the company has used its " 57 Varieties" slogan; it was inspired by a sign advertising 21 styles of shoes, and Henry Heinz chose the number 57 even though the company manufactured more than 60 products at the time. Another account says the numbers were chosen because "5" was his lucky number and "7" was his wife's.

In February 2013, Heinz agreed to be purchased by Berkshire Hathaway and the Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital for $23billion. On March 25, 2015, Kraft announced its merger with Heinz, arranged by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital. The resulting Kraft Heinz Company is the fifth largest food company in the world. Berkshire Hathaway became a majority owner of Heinz on June 18, 2015. After exercising a warrant to acquire 46 million shares of common stock for a total price of over $461million, Berkshire increased its stake to 52.5%. The merger to form Kraft Heinz was completed on July 2, 2015.

Heinz was founded by and is named for Henry J. Heinz, who was born in the United States to German immigrants. His father was originally from Kallstadt (then part of the Bavarian Rhenish Palatinate, now part of Rhineland-Palatinate). His mother Anna was from Haunetal, Hesse-Kassel, and they met in Pittsburgh.

The company went bankrupt in 1875. The following year Heinz founded another company, F & J Heinz, with his brother John Heinz and a cousin, Frederick Heinz. One of this company's first products was Heinz Tomato Ketchup. The company continued to grow.

In 1888, Heinz bought out his two partners and reorganized the company as the H. J. Heinz Company. Its slogan, "57 varieties", was introduced by Heinz in 1896. Inspired by an advertisement he saw while riding an elevated train in New York City (a shoe store boasting "21 styles"), Heinz picked the number more or less at random because he liked the sound of it, selecting "7" specifically because, as he put it, of the "psychological influence of that figure and of its enduring significance to people of all ages."

Heinz was a pioneer in both scientific and "technological innovations to solve problems like bacterial contamination." He personally worked to control the "purity of his products by managing his employees", offering hot showers and weekly manicures for the women handling food. During World War I, he worked with the Food Administration.

In 1914, Heinz Salad Cream was invented in England.

In 1930, Howard Heinz, son of Henry Heinz, helped to fight the downturn of the Great Depression by selling ready-to-serve soups and baby food. They became top sellers. During World War II, "Jack" Heinz led the company as president and CEO to aid the United Kingdom and offset food shortages. Its plant in Pittsburgh was converted for a time to manufacture gliders for the War Department.

In the postwar years, Jack Heinz expanded the company to develop plants in several nations overseas, greatly expanding its international presence. He also acquired Ore-Ida and Starkist Tuna.

In 1959, long-time Heinz employee Frank Armour Jr. was elected president and COO of H. J. Heinz Co., succeeding H. J. Heinz II. He was the first non-family member to hold the job since the company started in 1869. He became vice chairman in 1966, and later became chairman and CEO of Heinz subsidiary, Ore-Ida Foods Inc.

In 1969, Tony O'Reilly joined the company's UK subsidiary, soon becoming its managing director. He moved to Pittsburgh in 1971 when he was promoted to Senior Vice President for the North America and Pacific region. By 1973, Heinz selected him as president. He became CEO in 1979 and chairman in 1987.

Between 1981 and 1991, Heinz returned 28% annually, doubling the Standard & Poor's average annual return for those years. By 2000, the consolidation of grocery store chains, the spread of retailers such as Walmart, and growth of private-label brands caused competition for shelf space, and put price pressure on the company's products. The decline was also attributed to an inadequate response to broad demographic changes in the United States, particularly the growth in population among Hispanic and increased spending power of African Americans.

In 2001, Heinz acquired the pasta sauce, dry bouillon and soup business of Borden Foods. CEO William R. Johnson stated that "They fit very well with our tomato-based expertise".

On August 22, 2001, Heinz announced that it would acquire the Anchor Food Products' branded products, which included the Poppers line of appetizers, as well as the licensing rights to the TGI Fridays brand of frozen foods and appetizers. The acquisition was completed on September 25.

Billionaire Nelson Peltz initiated a proxy battle during 2006, culminating in a vote to place five of Peltz's nominees on the Board. After the final vote, two of the five nominees joined the Heinz Board. The new members of the board were Nelson Peltz and Matthew Craig Walsh.

In 2002, Heinz announced that it had sold the StarKist and 9Lives brands to Del Monte Foods.

In June 2008, Heinz began an advertising campaign in the UK for their new "New York Deli Mayo" products. The advertisement featured two men kissing in a family setting, which drew 200 complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority. On June 24, 2008, Heinz withdrew the advertisement, which had been planned for a five-week run. The company said that some of its customers had expressed concerns. Withdrawing the advert was also controversial, with critics accusing Heinz of homophobia. The gay rights group Stonewall called for a boycott of Heinz products. Some expressed surprise that it had responded to what they said was a relatively small number of complaints, compared to the UK's estimated 3.6 million gay and lesbian consumers. MP Diane Abbott called the decision to withdraw the advert "ill-considered" and "likely to offend the gay community".

On February 14, 2013, it was announced that Heinz would be purchased by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital for $23billion. Including debt assumption the transaction was valued at $28billion. According to Heinz, the deal was the largest in food industry history. Berkshire Hathaway and 3G would each own half of Heinz, with 3G running the company. Berkshire and 3G paid $72.50 a share. The acquisition was completed in June of that year. Berkshire and 3G immediately named Bernardo Hees, former chief executive of Burger King Worldwide Inc, as the CEO.

On August 13, 2013, Heinz announced it was cutting 600 jobs in North America. On October 25, 2013, fast-food chain McDonald's announced it would end its 40-year relationship with Heinz, after the former Burger King chief Hees became its CEO.

Heinz and Kraft merger

On March 25, 2015, Kraft Foods Group Inc. announced that it would merge with the H. J. Heinz Company, owned by 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway Inc., to form the world's fifth-largest food and beverage company. The companies completed the merger on July 2, 2015.

The Kraft Heinz company's world headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois, with the H. J. Heinz division located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the company was founded. The company's "keystone" logo is based on that of Pennsylvania, the " keystone state". Heinz Field was named after the Heinz company in 2001.

A majority of its ketchup is produced in Fremont, Ohio, and the rest is made in Muscatine, Iowa.

Heinz opened a pickle factory in Holland, Michigan, in 1897, and it is the largest such facility in the world. The Heinz Portion Control subsidiary is located in Jacksonville, Florida, and produces single-serving containers of ketchup, mustard, salad dressings, jams, jellies and syrups.

In 2000, seven retailers, including Walmart, Albertsons, and Safeway, comprised half of the company's sales by volume.

Heinz manufactures "Big Red" tomato sauce, and a number of flavored baked bean varieties, as well as canned meals. Heinz also markets the Wattie's brand of canned foods, which are made in New Zealand.

On October 6, 2008, Heinz announced plans to acquire the Australian company Golden Circle which "manufactures more than 500 products, including canned fruit and vegetables, fruit juices, drinks, cordials and jams."

On May 27, 2011, Heinz announced it would close its factory in Girgarre, Victoria, and downsize its factories in Northgate (Brisbane), and Wagga Wagga, with loss of more than 300 jobs. Heinz has other factories in Echuca and Mill Park.

On January 6, 2012, Heinz closed its tomato sauce factory in Girgarre as announced in the previous May. 146 workers lost their jobs. A local group was seeking to purchase the factory and start its own production, with offers of financial assistance from investors. The group's first offer for the site was rejected by Heinz. Girgarre was the second to last tomato sauce factory in Australia, and its closing brought an end to Heinz's 70 years of tomato processing operations in Australia.

As of May 2020 Kraft Heinz is said to potentially be in discussions with Graeme Hart to sell off the brands of Wattie's in New Zealand and Golden Circle in Australia.

Heinz was established in Canada in 1908 in a former tobacco factory in Leamington, Ontario (known as the Tomato Capital of Canada). Most products shipped from Leamington have bilingual English and French labels for distribution throughout Canada, but a substantial amount of product is sent from there to the US. Ketchup is the main product produced there, and the city has been a center of tomato production. The factory also produces Canada Fancy (Grade A) tomato juice, mustard, vinegar, baby food, barbecue sauces, canned pastas, beans, pasta sauces, gravies and soups. Heinz Canada is the major supplier of single-serving and flexible-packaging condiments for most fast food chains in Canada. Leamington is the largest tomato-processing region per acreage in the world. The Leamington plant usually processes more than 250,000 tons of tomatoes per year.[citation needed ] Heinz Canada's head office is in North York, Ontario; it also has operations in St. Marys, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Calgary, Alberta.

On November 14, 2013, Heinz announced that the Leamington facility, the second-largest in the company, would close sometime in May 2014. Ketchup processing operations were to be consolidated at the company's US locations. Over 800 local jobs were lost due to the town's largest employer ending operations there. A local effort began in an attempt to save the 105-year-old Leamington plant, and it included creating a Facebook page to gather support. On February 27, 2014, the Highbury Canco Corporation signed a letter of intent to acquire and operate the facility. In April it was reported that Highbury Canco Corporation had received a one-year license to process tomatoes at the facility, saving some 250 jobs.

As a result of this corporate restructuring and the angry Canadian response, a rival food company, French's, began producing their own ketchup brand using Leamington produce. It marketed the brand with an appeal to Canadian patriotism. This successful campaign, combined with a Canadian grassroots effort on Facebook encouraging purchasing of the French's product, resulted in Heinz's market share in Canada dropping from 84 to 76%, a significant shift in a mature market. This undesirable development was exacerbated in 2018 when Canadian tariffs were erected against specific American exports, which includes ketchup produced in the United States, in retaliation to the US President Trump's tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum exports. Heinz conducted a belated public relations campaign in Canada to try to counter the public anger against them, a task made more difficult by public sentiment rising to encourage a boycott of American goods in reaction of US President Trump's rhetoric against Canada.

Heinz Ketchup is available in India in two varieties, the standard Tomato Ketchup and Tomato Chili Sauce. As Indian taste preferences vary among the regions, Western brands such as Heinz must work on Indian interpretations of ketchups for sale in the country. Heinz acquired the former foods division of Glaxo India, gaining the Complan, Glucon D, Glucon C, Sampriti Ghee, and Nycil products and brands. In 2019, Heinz sold a portion of the business, including Complan and Glucon-D, for $627.18 million to Zydus Wellness.

H. J. Heinz Company entered Indonesia in 1999, when it acquired 65 percent share of PT. ABC Central Food, for US$70 million, and formed PT. Heinz ABC Indonesia. The company is based in Jakarta, and manufactures sauces, condiments, juices and syrups.

Serving demand from Indonesia's large population and growing economy, in the early 21st century PT. Heinz ABC Indonesia is the largest Heinz's business in Asia, and one of the largest in the world. It employs 3000 employees, has 3 production facilities, 8 packing facilities, and an extensive distribution network in Java and other parts of Indonesia. Their leading products are Syrup ABC (fruit syrup), Kecap ABC (sweet soy sauce), and Sambal ABC (hot chili sauce).

Heinz sells many products in the Netherlands; the Elst factory in Gelderland is the primary production facility for Heinz sauces for Western Europe. In 2006, production of both HP Sauce and Daddies was transferred from Birmingham, West Midlands to Elst as a result of the acquisition of HP Foods and the subsequent closure of the Aston factory. Subsequently, Heinz suffered severe supply issues for the ex-HP Foods brands as the Elst factory struggled to integrate production, resulting in significant negative coverage from UK retailers. Heinz was forced to begin bottling sauce in Spain, shipping ready-made sauce from Elst, to get product back into supply.

The UK headquarters moved from Hayes to the Shard in London. After opening its first overseas office in London in 1896, the company opened its first UK factory in Peckham, south London in 1905. This was followed by a factory at Harlesden, north-west London in 1919. Bombed twice in World War II, this factory remained in production until 2000. Production was started at a former munitions factory at Standish near Wigan in 1946, before the new factory at Kitt Green, near Wigan, opened in 1959. Heinz also had an infant food factory in Kendal, Cumbria. The site specialized in baby milks, previously under the brand of Farley's, but then manufactured under the name Heinz Nurture.

Heinz produces oriental foods sold under the Amoy brand, used under license from Ajinomoto Co. Inc., Tokyo, Japan.

In July 2001, the Food Standards Agency of the Government of the United Kingdom found Heinz canned baked beans products to be contaminated with the hormone disruptor bisphenol.

In 2013, the Kitt Green facility was listed as one among the world's five largest manufacturing units by the Discovery Channel (the list comprised Reliance's Jamnagar Refinery, Volkswagen's car plant, Kitt Green Foods plant, NASA's Kennedy Space Center and POSCO's steel plant). It is Europe's largest food factory and turns over more than 1 billion cans every year.

On February 22, 2013, Sanquan Food, a Chinese frozen food company, signed a contract to purchase LongFong Food, a subsidiary of Heinz Company in China. With this sale, Heinz (China) will focus on infant foods and sauces in emerging markets such as China. Heinz Hong Kong Limited is the regional office serving for operations in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.

Heinz currently produces frozen vegetables for export for the New Zealand and Australian market. They also produce mayonnaise and other sauces for the New Zealand and Australian market. Most products sold in New Zealand are sold under the brand name "Watties".

In school, we all learned about how hard women worked to earn their right to vote during the suffrage movement, before the constitutional amendment was finally passed in 1920. But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to an entire gender being faced with oppression over the years.

We're obviously still battling against several issues today, but seeing the things my mother and grandmother were forced to endure has really opened my eyes. I mean, I always knew things were different back in the day, but I can't believe how long it took for a wife to not be legally classified as "subordinate" to her husband - much less, how difficult it was for a single gal to get her own bank account and credit card.

Take a look to see just how many surprising things women weren't allowed to do back in the day.

Be sure to SHARE the look back at history with your friends!

Originaire du Liban, Eli Rezkallah est un artiste qui s'amuse à détourner les publicités sexistes et vintages des années 1950.
Malgré les stéréotypes et les inégalités qui subsistent encore, l'image de la femme a bien évolué au fil des années. En 1950, il n'était pas choquant de voir la femme représentée, dans des publicités et autres, par une mère de famille affairée à s'occuper de la maison toute la journée, de son homme, de ses enfants et de sa petite cuisine... avec un beau sourire en prime.

Même si les mentalités ont bien évolué depuis (et heureusement), il reste encore des pays où la femme n'est hélas pas perçue comme l'égale de l'homme. Et si on changeait la mentalité grâce à la pub ? C'est tout le sujet du projet créatif entreprise par Eli Rezkallah, un artiste originaire de Beyrouth au Liban, qui a eu l'idée de détourner les pubs sexistes des années 50.

Dans son projet baptisé "In A Parallel Universe", Eli revisite des publicités résolument vintage en inversant le rôle de l'homme et de la femme. Un moyen pour lui d'illustrer que même si la lutte pour l'égalité des sexes est loin d'être terminée, on a parcouru un beau chemin et la publicité misogyne des années 50 en est l'une des preuves les plus concrètes. Pour en savoir plus sur Eli Rezkallah, rendez-vous sur son portfolio.

A l'approche de la date butoir pour déposer les dossiers finalisés sur la plateforme Parcoursup, le 6 avril 2023, des chargés d'admission livrent leurs conseils aux candidats. (PAULINE LE NOURS / FRANCEINFO)

La dernière ligne droite de Parcoursup est lancée. Après avoir formulé leurs vœux, les lycéens finalisent leurs dossiers, qu'ils doivent soumettre au plus tard jeudi 6 avril, avant d'espérer rejoindre leur premier choix. La crainte d'atterrir sur liste d'attente ou de se retrouver sans affectation domine et génère un stress dans l'esprit des futurs étudiants, dont certains déplorent un système opaque et complexe.
>> Parcoursup : à l'étranger, comment sont sélectionnés les étudiants qui entrent dans l'enseignement supérieur ?
Depuis son déploiement, il y a quatre ans, la plateforme d'admission aux cursus d'enseignement supérieur est devenue le symbole d'un système saturé. , regrette Philippe Claudon, directeur de la licence de psychologie de Nancy,auprès de franceinfo. Résultat : à l'heure de boucler leur dossier, " On pousse les murs, on ne peut plus accueillir décemment les étudiants" les élèves de terminale font leur possible pour éviter de se retrouver sur le carreau. Comment mettre toutes les chances de son côté ? Franceinfo a interrogé six directeurs de formation sur les attentes qu'ils ont des candidats.
Laurent Sovet, président de la commission Parcoursup pour la licence de psychologie, parcours "Sciences psychologiques" à l'Université Paris-Cité.
"S'informer au mieux sur la formation visée"
>> Formations, transparence, calendrier... Quelles sont les nouveautés de Parcoursup ?
"Le meilleur conseil qu'on peut donner à l'élève, c'est de s'informer au mieux sur la formation qu'il vise au moment de préparer sa candidature. Parcoursup met à disposition de plus en plus d'informations en ligne. Les critères et les modalités d'examen des candidatures sont rendus visibles sur la plateforme, à travers les pourcentages attribués à chaque élément du dossier (entre les notes, la motivation, les expériences ou encore le savoir-être). L'élève peut les consulter dans l'onglet 'comprendre les critères d'analyse des candidatures'. A titre d'exemple, dans notre cursus de psychologie, les notes comptent pour 71% dans l'examen des candidatures.

Dans un autre onglet, les 'conseils aux candidats' peuvent aussi se révéler précieux. De notre côté, par exemple, nous rappelons qu'il est primordial de se renseigner sur le contenu des formations et nous expliquons que le choix des enseignements de spécialité au lycée n'est pas un élément déterminant pour candidater. Ils peuvent aussi retrouver sur la plateforme tout un tas d'informations chiffrées, utiles pour appréhender leurs chances, comme le nombre d'admis chaque année."
Françoise Duhaussay, responsable des admissions en BTS à Alençon (Orne).
"Avoir plusieurs idées de métier n'est pas du tout rédhibitoire"

"Il faut que le candidat nous dise le maximum de choses sur sa situation au moment où il postule. Quand l'élève parle de la suite de son parcours dans son dossier, il ne faut pas qu'il mentionne uniquement l'obtention de son diplôme, mais aussi ses aspirations personnelles et professionnelles. Si un lycéen en bac pro veut postuler pour un BTS en automobile, il peut mettre en avant le fait qu'il a acquis des compétences théoriques et pratiques pendant sa scolarité, en donnant des exemples. Il peut aussi raconter qu'il a effectué sa formation dans un garage multimarques, puis expliquer qu'il est motivé à l'idée de devenir technicien en diagnostic auto.

"Ces informations nous permettent à la fois de corroborer le parcours effectué en bac professionnel, mais aussi de comprendre quel est le niveau de ses ambitions."

Un autre conseil qui me semble important : il ne faut en aucun cas se censurer dans le nombre d'informations qu'on apporte à son dossier. Tous les recruteurs ne s'attardent pas sur les mêmes détails. A Alençon, il est possible que nous passions à côté d'une passion ou d'un intérêt que le lycéen a noté dans son dossier. Mais cela ne signifie pas qu'une autre formation, ailleurs, ne sera pas intéressée.

Nous avons conscience qu'à 17 ou 18 ans, tous les élèves n'ont pas encore une idée précise de ce qu'ils veulent faire. Mais s'ils ont ne serait-ce qu'une ébauche de projet, il ne faut pas qu'ils hésitent à en parler. J'insiste : avoir plusieurs idées de métier n'est pas du tout rédhibitoire. Les aspirations professionnelles n'ont pas besoin d'être abouties. Ce qui va nous plaire, c'est l'effort de recherche et le fait que l'élève ait pris le temps de montrer que ce n'est pas par hasard qu'il postule. Et s'il faut ensuite poursuivre en licence après le BTS pour se spécialiser, ce sera possible."
Renaud Roy, responsable des admissions à l'école supérieure des techniques aéronautiques et de construction automobile (Estaca) à Montigny-le-Bretonneux (Yvelines).
"Ne choisissez pas une spécialité uniquement pour tenter de décrocher une mention au bac"

"Le lycéen doit avoir en tête que nous regardons tout son parcours : ses notes de première, de terminale. Nous nous intéressons aussi à son positionnement dans la classe, aux appréciations des enseignants sur ses méthodes de travail, sa capacité à réussir. Et nous accordons un intérêt particulier aux spécialités qu'il a choisies. Pour ces raisons, dans des cursus scientifiques comme ceux des écoles d'ingénieur, il est primordial d'anticiper l'orientation de Parcoursup.

En terminale, les dés sont déjà jetés. C'est en première que l'enjeu est important : l'élève ne doit pas faire des choix de spécialité uniquement pour tenter de décrocher une mention au bac. Il ne faut pas non plus négliger la spécialité abandonnée en classe de première. Et s'il arrête de s'investir en cours d'année, nous le verrons. Il est important de conserver une forme de stabilité. Même si un jeune n'aime pas une matière, cela ne doit pas transparaître dans son dossier."
Valérie Loubert, responsable des classes préparatoires littéraires du lycée de la Perverie, à Nantes.
"On cherche un étudiant qui se montre honnête"

"Nous ne cherchons pas le lycéen qui se démarque à tout prix, mais surtout celui qui se montre honnête. Le premier candidat qui va se démarquer est celui qui a de très bonnes notes. Et les résultats académiques sont évidemment ce que nous regardons en premier. Le bulletin et les appréciations restent la meilleure carte d'identité de l'élève. Mais nous regardons aussi le projet de formation motivé avec beaucoup de bienveillance.

Dans son dossier, l'élève peut expliquer son projet, et s'il n'en a pas, il ne faut pas qu'il hésite à le dire. Nous sommes conscients qu'un jeune de 18 ans ne peut pas avoir eu une vie complète derrière lui. Les classes préparatoires sont aussi faites pour que l'étudiant trouve sa voie."
Armel Cretual, directeur de la formation Staps de Rennes.
"Les résultats peuvent être compensés par le parcours personnel"

"Les étudiants qui réussissent ne sont pas forcément ceux qui présentaient un bon dossier académique au lycée. C'est pourquoi nous considérons que les résultats peuvent largement être compensés par le parcours personnel. Dans nos formations, savoir prendre en charge un groupe d'élèves ou de sportifs est une compétence attendue. Un élève de terminale qui a déjà des expériences en animation ou en formation de premier secours peut facilement gagner des points.

C'est d'ailleurs l'un de nos critères de sélection. Si l'élève justifie d'une formation en secourisme, il peut gagner jusqu'à 12 points, 9 pour le brevet d'aptitude aux fonctions d'animateur (Bafa). Un jeune qui aurait d'excellentes notes dans les matières scientifiques, mais aucune compétence dans ce qu'on met en avant ne sera pas forcément très bien classé. A l'inverse, l ors de l'examen des candidatures, nous valorisons les candidats aux compétences pluridisciplinaires."
Daniel Andersch, directeur des études de l'école d'architecture de Montpellier.
"Faire valoir sa culture générale"

"C'est toujours mieux si le lycéen évite les grands poncifs dans sa candidature. Il est préférable que celui-ci s'appuie sur des exemples concrets, des références précises ou des aspects marquants de son expérience. En ce qui nous concerne, l'élève qui postule peut faire un lien entre le monde de l'architecture et le monde culturel dans lequel il baigne, par exemple. S'il a remarqué des bâtiments un peu forts lors de ses visites, de ses voyages, ou même autour de lui, le fait qu'il sache en parler peut lui permettre de gagner des points.

Nous considérons qu'il est important de faire valoir sa culture générale pour se démarquer. Tout en essayant de sortir des lieux communs du type : 'J'ai envie d'être architecte pour construire un monde écologique merveilleux'. Plus l'approche est personnelle et plus la candidature aura de la valeur à nos yeux."
