In the business world, there are also trends and changes in strategy. And sometimes, they work like a pendulum: in some periods, concentrations prevail, through mergers or acquisitions; and in others, separations. The American giant Kraft Heinz is a recent example. A decade after integrating brands such as Philadelphia cheese, the famous Heinz ketchup, and Oscar Mayer sausages into a single group, the two companies are separating.

US food giant Kraft Heinz has announced a plan to split into two companies after more than a decade of integration. One company will focus on sauces, condiments, and spreads, with brands such as Heinz ketchup and Philadelphia cheese, and the other on food products such as Oscar Mayer sausages in North America.
