CoverStory: Top 50 Food Packagers Our Top 50 Food Packagers list uses sources that include annual com- pany reports, news reports, company websites and direct company con- tacts. Sales are based on calendar year 2013 or the most recent fi scal year that conforms to that timeframe. We used XE, the online currency counter (www.xe.com), where necessary. We have also drilled down to the best of our abilities using all available resources to separate out food revenue from beverages and other segment revenue. *= estimate **=2012 fi gure. 2013 fi gure not available Company 2013 Total Revenues Chief Packaging Offi cer, Rank Headquarters (in $ Billions) Title Key Brands Nestlé SA 60.43 Anne Roulin, Hot Pockets, Purina, Dreyer’s, 1 Vevey, Switzerland Global Head of Packaging Stouffer’s, Nestlé, Lean Cuisine, Edy's PepsiCo Inc. 34.54 Robert Lewis, Lay's, Quaker, Doritos, Ruffl es, Tostitos, Fritos 2 Purchase, NY Senior Vice President Global Packaging & Engineering Technology Tyson Foods Inc. 34.37 Carolyn Rehbock, Tyson, Wright, Bosco's 3 Springdale, AR Vice President, Product Innovation JBS USA (including Pilgrim's Pride) 30.55 Tim Thomas, Swift, Cedar River Farms, 4 Greeley, CO Head of Procurement Pilgrim's, Country Pride Mars Inc. 30.00* Steve Ginsberg, M&M's, Snickers, Twix, Uncle Ben's, 5 McLean, VA Director of Design Pedigree, Whiskas, Dove, Extra, Orbit Mondeléz International 29.44 Jean Spence, Executive Vice President of LU, Nabisco, Cadbury, 6 Deerfi eld, IL Research, Development & Quality Milka, Oreo, Trident, Ritz Unilever 18.60 Dennis Furniss, Hellmann's, Knorr, Ragu, Country 7 London, U.K. Vice President of Global Design Crock, Bertolli, Magnum, Breyer's General Mills Inc. 17.77 Elizabeth Nientimp, Cheerios, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Yoplait, 8 Minneapolis, MN Director of Brand Design Green Giant, Progresso, Nature Valley Lactalis 17.74 John Neureuter, Sorrento, President, Rondele 9 Buffalo, NY Senior Manager, Demand Planning at Lactalis American Group Groupe Danone 16.13 Jean-Philippe Paré, Activia, Actimel/DanActive, Dannon, Danone 10 Paris, France General Director, Research & Development 20 FOOD& BEVERAGE PACKAGING JUNE/JULY 2 014 w w w . foodandbeveragepackaging . c o m Company 2013 Total Revenues Chief Packaging Officer, Rank Headquarters (in $ Billions) Title Key Brands METHODOLOGY Fonterra 16.07 Ian Palliser, Managing Director Anchor, Anlene 11 Auckland, New Zealand Group Optimization & Supply Chain Kraft Foods Group 15.54 Tom Corley, EVP and President, Kraft,Oscar Mayer, 12 Northfield, IL U.S. Retail Sales and Foodservice Velveeta, Cool Whip, Planters ConAgra Foods Inc. 15.49 Robert Weick, Healthy Choice, Orville Redenbacher's, 13 Omaha, NE Vice President Packaging & Sustainability Reddi-wip, Hunt's, PAM, Peter Pan Kellogg Co. 14.79 Brent Rouget, Rice Krispies, Special K, 14 Battle Creek, MI Manager, Packaging Procurement Nutri-Grain, Eggo, Pop-Tarts Cargill, 13.67 Jonathan Paul, Sterling Silver, Rumba, 15 Minneapolis, MN Global COE Lead, Packaging Diamond Crystal, Truvia Design Engineering at Cargill Grupo Bimbo SA 13.66 David Hernandez, Mrs Baird's, Bimbo, Entenmann's, 16 Mexico City, Mexico Chief Procurement Officer Marinela, Tia Rosa, Boboli, Thomas Smithfield Foods Inc. 13.22 Henry Morris, Smithfield, John Morrell, Armour, 17 Smithfield, VA Vice President Operations Eckrich, Farmland, Margherita H.J.
