KHC vs MCHP Comparison

In July 2015, Kraft merged with Heinz to create one of North America's largest food and beverage manufacturers. However, the firm now intends to split its global sauces arm from its North American grocery segment in the second half of 2026. Beyond its namesake brands, its portfolio includes Oscar Mayer, Velveeta, and Philadelphia. While the retail channel drives around 85% of its total sales, the firm also maintains a growing foodservice presence. Outside North America, Kraft Heinz's global reach encompasses a distribution network in Europe and emerging markets, which accounts for nearly 25% of its consolidated sales base. The company's products are sold in more than 190 countries and territories.

Microchip Technology became an independent company in 1989 when it was spun off from General Instrument. More than half of revenue comes from MCUs, which are used in a wide array of electronic devices from remote controls to garage door openers to power windows in autos. The company's strength lies in lower-end 8-bit MCUs that are suitable for a wider range of less technologically advanced devices, but the firm has expanded its presence in higher-end MCUs and analog chips as well.
