Description: Kraft Heinz is a multinational corporation operating in the food and beverage sector. Its corporate headquarters are located in both Chicago, Illinois, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States. Formed in 2015 through the merger of Kraft Foods Group and H.J. Heinz Company, Kraft Heinz maintains a significant presence in various international markets, including Canada.
In Canada, Kraft Heinz products are distributed across a wide range of retail outlets and include several brands that are well established among consumers. Notable examples are Heinz Ketchup, Kraft Dinner (commonly referred to as KD), Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and Cheez Whiz. Other brands available in Canada under the Kraft Heinz portfolio include Classico pasta sauces, Bagel Bites, and Maxwell House coffee.
While Kraft Heinz maintains its global headquarters in the United States, the company operates manufacturing facilities in multiple countries to supply local and regional markets. For the Canadian market specifically, some products are manufactured domestically, with facilities located in Ontario and Québec, among other provinces. However, a portion of the products sold in Canada is imported from manufacturing sites in the United States and occasionally from other countries, depending on the product category and production capacity.
Kraft Heinz continues to adjust its manufacturing footprint through the consolidation and optimization of its facilities, impacting both domestic production and imports for the Canadian market.
