Campbell Soup Company () (also known as
Campbell's) is a well-known
United States producer of Canned soup and related products. Campbell's products are sold in 120 countries around the world. It is headquartered in Camden, New Jersey,
New Jersey. The company reportedly produces almost 2.5 billion
Tin can of soup per year.
Overview
The ubiquitous red-and-white icon became fodder for Andy Warhol, the 1960s pop counter-culture artist, in his famous series of iconoclastic
Campbell's Soup Can images from
1962 to 1968, many of which are on display at the Andy Warhol Museum.
To celebrate this, in 2004, the company released a series of four limited edition cans, with different labels than the regular red (color) and white (color). The new ones were in silkscreen colors, the top half being one shade and bottom another. Orange (color) and
Pink (color) were one combination, and shades of Blue (color) another. This marked one of the few times thus far in the company's 100+ year history that the labels have deviated from their standard look.
The
Tin can appeared on the
East coast (U.S.) and slowly made their way as far west as Ohio via
Giant Eagle supermarket.
History
Campbell's was founded in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell, a fruit merchant, and Abraham Anderson, an icebox manufacturer. The company was originally called the "Joseph A. Campbell Preserve Company" and produced canned
Tomato, Vegetable, fruit preserves, soups, Condiment, and
Minced meat.
By
1896, Anderson left the partnership, leaving Campbell to reorganize and form a new company, Joseph Campbell & Co. In
1897, a nephew of one of the new Campbell partners, Dr.
John T. Dorrance, began working for the company at a wage of $7.50 a week. Dorrance, a gifted chemist with degrees from
MIT and
Göttingen University, Germany, developed a commercially viable method for condensing soup by halving the quantity of its heaviest ingredient:
water.
Soup was not a popular staple in the American diet at the turn of the century, but it was in
Europe. However, Dorrance's condensed soups quickly became successful among the public for their convenience and their price, 10 cents a can. The product competed at the Exposition Universelle (1900) in
1900 and was awarded a gold medal, an image of which still appears on the label.
In
1898, Herberton Williams, a Campbell's executive, convinced the company to adopt a red and white color scheme, because he was taken by the crisp colors of the
Cornell University football (American) team's uniforms. Campbell's Soup History: Introduction from Campbell's official websiteTo this day, the layout of the can, with its red and white design and the gold medal seal from the 1900 Paris Exhibition, has changed very little.
Campbell Soup became one of largest food companies in the world under the leadership of William Beverly Murphy. He was elected executive vice president of Campbell Soup in
1949 and was president and
CEO from 1953 to 1972. While at Campbell's Soup Company, he took the corporation public and increased its brand portfolio to include Pepperidge Farm breads, cookies, and crackers, Franco-American gravies and pastas, V8 vegetable juices, Swanson broths, and Godiva Chocolates.
Campbell Soup invested heavily in advertising since its inception, and many of its promotional campaigns have proven value in the Americana collectible advertising market. Perhaps best known are the "Campbell Kids." Ronald Reagan was a spokesman for V8 (beverage) when it was first introduced. A "pretty groovy deal" in 1968 offered a paper Souper Dress available for $1.00 and two labels. Also produced were Campbell's Menu Books and
Help for the Hostess series of cookbooks. One of the longest lasting recipes, but certainly odd to modern tastebuds, is the recipe for Tomato Soup Cake.
In addition to collectible advertising, the company has also had notable commercial sponsorships. Among these was The Campbell Playhouse, which had previously been
Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre On The Air. Campbell's took over as sponsor of the radio theatre program in December of
1938.
In the UK and Ireland, the cans will be rebranded as Batchelors Condensed Soup from March 2008(since the license for the brand name expires in mid 2008) but labels will carry: "
Formerly Campbell's. Same great taste."
Premier Foods,
St. Albans,
Hertfordshire bought Campbell Soup Company in the UK and Ireland, for £ 450m ($ 830m), but not the brand. 22 flavours will be branded as Batchelors but recipes will remain the same. Also, US-based Campbell Soup Company will still produce Campbell's Condensed Soup but cannot sell the product in the UK for another 5 years. BBC NEWS, UK shops to lose famous soup can
Health
Many canned soups, including Campbell's condensed and Chunky varieties, have relatively high doses of
sodium and thus are not desirable for those on low-sodium diets. However Campbell's Healthy Request Soups and Low Sodium Soups have reduced sodium levels. Campbell's FAQ
