Campbell's Company (The)

The Campbell's Company, formerly Campbell Soup Company, is an American multinational food manufacturer and distributor with a rich 155-year history that began in Camden, New Jersey in 1869. What started as a small fruit and vegetable canning operation founded by Joseph Campbell and Abraham Anderson has evolved into one of the world's most iconic food companies, with a portfolio of beloved brands that generate over $10 billion in annual revenue. The company's revolutionary condensed soup innovation in 1897, developed by chemist John T. Dorrance, transformed the food industry and established Campbell's as a household name across America.

Today, The Campbell's Company operates through two major divisions: Meals & Beverages and Snacks, with a portfolio that extends far beyond its namesake soup products. The company owns multiple billion-dollar brands including Campbell's, Goldfish, and Pepperidge Farm, along with leadership brands such as Pace, Prego, V8, Swanson, and the recently acquired Rao's premium pasta sauce. This diversified portfolio serves millions of consumers daily through retail, foodservice, and direct-to-consumer channels across North America and internationally.

The company underwent a significant transformation in 2024, changing its name from Campbell Soup Company to The Campbell's Company to better reflect its broad portfolio of products that extend well beyond soup. This rebranding, approved by shareholders in November 2024, symbolizes the company's evolution from a soup manufacturer to a diversified food company with strong positions in snacks, beverages, sauces, and baked goods. Headquartered in Camden, New Jersey, with approximately 14,000 employees globally, The Campbell's Company continues to innovate while honoring its heritage of providing affordable, delicious food prepared with care.

The company's strategic focus includes expanding its premium and better-for-you product offerings, as evidenced by its $2.7 billion acquisition of Sovos Brands in 2024, which brought Rao's, Michael Angelo's, and noosa into its portfolio. With fiscal 2025 net sales of $10.3 billion and a strong commitment to sustainability and community engagement, The Campbell's Company remains dedicated to its purpose: connecting people through food they love—today and for generations to come.
