fast paced lifestyles on the go with its Ready-to-serve soups created in 2002, and Campbell’s on-the-go in 2012 (Campbell, 2017). The Campbell Soup Company also grew and diversified through several major acquisitions in its history, starting in 1915 with Franco American, which would later create the well-known and top selling Spaghetti O’s Pasta. Other major acquisitions included today’s top selling V-8 Vegetable Juice in 1948, and Pepperidge Farm, maker of Goldfish Crackers, in 1965. Campbell would close the 20th century with more acquisitions like Pace Foods (Mexican sauces), and soup companies Erasco Group and Liebig which furthered international expansion in Germany and France. Campbell expanded into China when they bought cookie and snack company, Kelsen (Campbell, 2017). To offset slowing growth in the soup category, recent acquisitions by Campbell have targeted companies in the fast-growing fresh-food market segment, which occupies the perimeter of grocery stores (Daniels, 2017). These purchases included Bolthouse Farms in 2012, which made Campbell the largest grower of carrots in the world, Plum Organics, a baby and children’s food company in 2013, followed by the addition of Garden Fresh Gourmet in 2015. In 2012, Denise Morrison was named the first female CEO and 12th overall in Campbell’s history for a company that originally went public on the NYSE in 1954. Ms. Morrison is committed to Campbell’s goal to, “make food delicious, accessible, and…
