SEC 10-K Paper: H.J. Heinz Company
Preview:
Introduction
A fixture in the region for nearly 150 years, the company traces its roots to the early 1850s when an enterprising 8-year-old boy named Henry John Heinz began the 19th-century equivalent of a lemonade stand, peddling extra vegetables from his mother's garden to his Sharpsburg neighbors (Sabatini, 2013). In 1859, at age 15, the young entrepreneur and marketing pioneer began bottling his first product -- horseradish. At the same time, he scored his first marketing coup, rejecting the customary green glass bottle in favor of clear glass to emphasize the product's purity (Sabatini, 2013).
Throughout the decades the ownership changed, as one would expect over 150 years, but the company continued forward with rapid expansion. This expansion eventually went global and became the company we know and love today. In 2015, Heinz and Kraft merged becoming the world’s fifth biggest Food and Beverage Company. The expansion continues to this day and the company continues to remain extremely successful.
