Kraft grew out of a wholesale cheese-delivery business established in Chicago in 1903 by James L. Kraft. Three years later he and his brother Charles began processing cheese for distribution to area retailers.

This business has many competitive advantages: iconic brands, high barriers to entry (manufacturing, distribution, limited shelf space capacity), low cyclicality, and stable cash flow.

The company's core businesses are in beverage, cheese, dairy foods, snack foods, and convenience foods.

To finish closing the gap and secure Kraft Heinz's position once again as a CPG leader, Patricio outlined a three-prong approach to driving growth in 2023, which includes scaling the company's US retail platforms, in part by renovating existing brands and innovating to meet new consumer needs.

This business has many competitive advantages: iconic brands, high barriers to entry (manufacturing, distribution, limited shelf space capacity), low cyclicality, and stable cash flow. By combining Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz, the operating models are able to further entrench these competitive advantages.
