'Founded by Henry John Heinz in 1869 a massive 148 years ago'

Best known for their baked beans, Heinz products have been part of most of our lives from the very start. The company’s heritage is part of what makes them so special.

It was founded by Henry John Heinz in 1869 a massive 148 years ago. The H. J. Heinz Company manufactures thousands of food products in plants on six continents, and markets these products in more than 200 countries and territories

On February 14, 2013, Heinz agreed to be purchased by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital for $23 billion.

The H. J. Heinz Company, or Heinz, was an American food processing company with world headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We love this story as it reminds us at nothing happens overnight and when you put ideas around great committed focused people, something wonderful can happen not just for one day but for hundred of years, allowing people all over the world to enjoy these great products.

High five to Henry John and the Heinz team.
