Kraft (brand)

Kraft is a historic American packaged-food brand that traces its commercial roots to J.L. Kraft & Bros., founded by James L. Kraft in Chicago in 1903. The brand grew from processed cheese and dairy products into a broad portfolio of grocery items over the 20th century. (britannica.com)

Corporate structure changed significantly in the 2010s: in 2012 the original Kraft Foods business split into Mondelēz International (global snacks) and Kraft Foods Group (North American grocery). In 2015 Kraft Foods Group merged with H.J. Heinz Company to form The Kraft Heinz Company, consolidating many North American Kraft-branded products under the new combined company. (en.wikipedia.org)

Today the Kraft brand and many of its products are owned and marketed by The Kraft Heinz Company, an American multinational headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh. Kraft Heinz is a large packaged-food manufacturer with global production and distribution; the company and its brands operate in multiple countries and source/manufacture products in several regions worldwide.

Brand rights and territorial licensing have varied historically (for example, certain European rights were licensed and later reverted), but currently Kraft-branded grocery products are produced and distributed internationally under Kraft Heinz’s portfolio while manufacturing footprint remains multi-country.
