Campbell Soup announces name change to Campbell's Co

Portland, ORLocal News

Campbell Soup Co, renowned for its iconic canned soups, is set to change its name to Campbell's Co, as announced during its annual investor meeting. This decision comes from a desire to better reflect the company's diverse food portfolio, which now includes brands like Prego sauce and Goldfish crackers. CEO Mark Clouse highlighted that the name change is a “subtle yet important” shift that retains the company's iconic identity while signaling a drive for expansion and growth. The proposed name change is still pending shareholder approval, which is expected to take place in November. Additionally, this move follows Campbell's recent $2.

7 billion acquisition of Sovos Brands, the maker of Rao’s pasta sauces, further diversifying its offerings. Marketing experts believe that the new name will not disrupt consumer recognition and may enhance the brand's identity. The trend of rebranding to reflect broader product lines is not new, with other companies like Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme previously opting for similar strategies. These changes often aim to position brands for growth in an evolving market.
