Company history
Founded in Camden, New Jersey, in 1869 by Joseph Campbell and Abraham Anderson, the company began in the canned produce business. It introduced its first ready-to-eat soup, Beefsteak Tomato, in 1895; John T. Dorrance’s condensed-soup process followed in 1897, and the red-and-white label appeared in 1898. The Campbell Kids debuted in 1904, and the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1954.[16][17]
From the late 1940s through the early 1960s, Campbell expanded beyond soup through acquisitions including V8 (1948), Swanson (1955), and Pepperidge Farm (1961); Goldfish crackers launched in the United States in 1962. Prego pasta sauce followed in 1981.[18][19][20][21][22]
In 2018, Campbell completed its acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance, expanding its snacks business. In 2019, it sold Campbell International, including Arnott’s and Kelsen, as it refocused on North American snacks and meals and beverages. In 2024, it completed the acquisition of Sovos Brands, owner of Rao’s, Michael Angelo’s, and noosa, and shareholders approved the company’s name change to The Campbell’s Company.[23][24][25][26] [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]
