It was founded by JamesL. Kraft in 1903. He started a door-to-door cheese business. Kraft had a very shaky start but by 1914 he was selling thirty-one varieties of cheese across the U.S.A. and had opened his own cheese factory. In 1915,the company invented processed cheese that did not need refrigeration. The U.S. Army bought millions of kilograms for soldiers’ rations during World War I. Today the company owns brands such as Cadbury, Philadelphia cheese, Vegemite, and Nabisco. Twelve of these brands each generate over $1 billion. Around 30% or revenues come from confectionary and 14% from cheese.
