The Company
H.J. Heinz Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania on July 27, 1900. In 1905, it succeeded to the business of a
partnership operating under the same name which had developed from a food business founded in 1869 in
Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania by Henry J. Heinz. Heinz manufactures and markets an extensive line of food products
throughout the world. The Company's principal products include ketchup, condiments and sauces, frozen food,
soups, beans and pasta meals, infant nutrition and other food products.
The Company's products are manufactured and packaged to provide safe, wholesome foods for consumers, as wel
as foodservice and institutional customers. Many products are prepared from recipes developed in the Company's
research laboratories and experimental kitchens. Ingredients are careful y selected, inspected and passed on to
modern factory kitchens where they are processed, after which the intermediate product is fil ed automatical y into
containers of glass, metal, plastic, paper or fiberboard, which are then sealed. Products are prepared by
sterilization, blending, fermentation, pasteurization, homogenization, chil ing, freezing, pickling, drying, freeze drying,
baking or extruding, then labeled and cased for market. Quality assurance procedures are designed for each product
and process and applied for quality and compliance with applicable laws.
The Company manufactures (and contracts for the manufacture of) its products from a wide variety of raw food
materials. Pre-season contracts are made with farmers for certain raw materials such as a portion of the Company's
requirements of tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, onions and some other fruits and vegetables. Ingredients, such as
dairy products, meat, sugar and other sweeteners, including high fructose corn syrup, spices, flour and fruits and
vegetables are purchased from approved suppliers.
Heinz's principal executive offices are located at 1 PPG Place, Suite 3100, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 and our
telephone number at that address is (412) 456-5700. We maintain a website at www.heinz.com. Information
