H. J. Heinz Company Limited is full of beans -- canned beans. The UK subsidiary of Heinz offers some of the same brands sold the US, plus some specifically aimed at the UK market. Its canned beans (Heinz Beanz) are not a staple of American pantries but the Brits love 'em -- they buy 1.5 million cans a day. Heinz soup is also popular, with the company selling 289 million cans a year. Then there's Heinz salad cream, a tangy condiment not seen in the US. And whereas Chef Boyardee is a top seller in the US, in the UK Heinz' canned spaghetti is a favorite. (Its version of SpaghettiOs is called Spaghetti Hoops.) And for all the new moms and dads, the company offers a full line of Heinz-branded baby foods.

n 2008, Danone recorded an organic growth rate of 8.4% — practical proof that its business growth model truly works. With its operating margin increasing for the 14th year running, the group further strengthened its global standing: world no. 1 in fresh dairy products, world no. 2 in bottled waters, world no. 2 in baby nutrition and European no. 1 in medical nutrition. The group’s performance is the result of a balanced strategy that builds on international expansion, a growing commitment to innovation, and strengthening health-oriented brands. In order to live up to its ambitions, Danone invests heavily in Research & Development — €208 million in 2008. One hundred percent of projects currently in the pipeline focus on health and nutrition. Three centuries after the benefits of Evian mineral water were discovered, over a century after Blédine was first marketed, and nearly a century after the first Danone yoghurt was retailed in a pharmacy, health innovation remains more than ever a driver of the group’s business growth. 2008 confirmed that the previous year’s acquisition of the Dutch group Numico was strategically sound. With this move, Danone incorporated into its strategy two profitable, fast-growing health-oriented business lines: medical nutrition and baby nutrition. They naturally round off the group’s brand portfolio and are perfectly aligned with its mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible. Today Danone is the only food group to focus totally on health.
