Kraft Heinz has announced a significant $3 billion investment in its U.S. manufacturing facilities, marking the largest commitment in decades, which could create around 3,500 jobs. This includes a $400 million distribution center in DeKalb, Illinois. The investment aims to mitigate the effects of tariffs on imports, particularly impacting its Maxwell House coffee brand. Amid declining sales due to inflation, Kraft Heinz is expanding its product range and exploring strategic transactions for growth. Analysts suggest divesting some products to alleviate financial pressures.
