History of Kraft Foods

Kraft Foods is the second largest food company in the world. Kraft Foods has over 60 brands, 40 of which are at least 100 years old.

National Dairy Products Corporation was formed in 1923. In 1930, National Dairy Products acquired Kraft-Phenix which had its beginnings back in 1903 when James Kraft started a wholesale cheese business. (In 1909, J L Kraft and Bros. Company was formed and later changed their name to Kraft Cheese Company in 1924 and in 1928 when Kraft purchased Phenix Cheese Company the name was changed to the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Company.)

National Dairy Products changed its name to Kraftco in 1969. By 1976, Kraftco became Kraft, Inc. Kraft, Inc then merged with Dart and became Dart & Kraft in 1980. During the 1980’s the company spun off the non-food business (except for Duracell) into Premark International, Inc. and changed their name back to Kraft, Inc. Duracell was sold in 1988, the same year that Kraft, Inc was purchased by Phillip Morris Companies. By the next year, Phillip Morris merged General Foods and Kraft, Inc. into Kraft General Foods. Then, in 2000, Phillip Morris acquired Nabisco and merged it with Kraft. Finally in 2007, Altria (formerly Phillip Morris) spins off Kraft as a separate independent company known as Kraft Foods.
