Heinz Beanz

Heinz Beanz is a globally recognized staple of British culture, despite its origins being tied to an American entrepreneur. Founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by Henry J. Heinz in 1869, the brand introduced its famous baked beans to the UK in 1886.

Today, Heinz Beanz are largely synonymous with the UK market, where they are primarily manufactured at the Kitt Green factory in Wigan, one of the largest food processing plants in the world.

The brand is held by Kraft Heinz, a multinational food giant formed by the 2015 merger of Kraft Foods and the H.J. Heinz Company. The company remains headquartered in the United States and continues to be one of the largest food and beverage organizations globally.
