The H. J. Heinz Company is an American food processing company headquartered at One PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company was founded by Henry J. Heinz in 1869. Heinz manufactures a couple thousand food products in plants on six continents, and markets these products in more than 200 countries and territories. The company claims to have 150 number-one or number-two brands worldwide. Heinz ranked first in ketchup in the US with a market share in excess of 50%; the Ore-Ida label held 46% of the frozen potato sector in 2003.

The Heinz logo looks like a “keystone,” which shows the company’s strong connection to Pennsylvania, known as the “Keystone State.” This shape highlights how important Pennsylvania was in the early history of the United States and how Heinz aims to be an essential part of our diets. The term “Keystone State” symbolizes something crucial that holds other things together, just like Pennsylvania’s role in history and Heinz’s role on our dining tables.
