HJ Heinz Company: The Ketchup People

Walk into any diner in America and you’re likely to see his name on ketchup bottles on pickle jars. Henry J Heinz has been a part of American culture for more than a century. Heinz sold his products on every continent. He coined one of the most memorable lines in the history of advertising “57 varieties”. He was an obsessive genius, yet in an era of domineering bosses and robber barons Heinz motivated his employees with kindness. HJ Heinz was certainly an uncommon man devoted to his religion, his family and his pickles but not necessarily in that order.
