## Company history

Heinz traces its origins to 1869, when H.J. Heinz began selling bottled horseradish in Pittsburgh. The Kraft business began in 1903, when J.L. Kraft started selling cheese in Chicago. [29](https://news.kraftheinzcompany.com/press-releases-details/2019/HEINZ-Relishes-150-Years/default.aspx) [30](https://news.kraftheinzcompany.com/press-releases-details/2018/This-Fathers-Day-Get-Your-Dad-the-Cheesiest-Gift-of-Them-All--a-Kraft-Cheese-Sculpture-of-Himself/default.aspx)

In 2012, Kraft Foods separated its North American grocery business as Kraft Foods Group, while the remaining business became Mondelez International. Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital completed their acquisition of Heinz in 2013. [31](https://ir.mondelezinternational.com/news-releases/news-release-details/mondelez-international-completes-spin-its-north-american-grocery/) [32](https://news.kraftheinzcompany.com/press-releases-details/2013/Berkshire-Hathaway-and-3G-Capital-Complete-Acquisition-of-HJ-Heinz-Company/default.aspx)

Heinz and Kraft Foods Group announced a merger agreement in March 2015, and completed the merger that July, forming The Kraft Heinz Company.
