In late March that deal was announced and as stated by that deal, Kraft Foods investors were offered $16.50 for each share they are holding. This will make Kraft Heinz Co. the third largest food and beverage company in North America-both of whom earn a sizable chunk of their revenues by supplying Walmart store nationwide.

The trading debut shows just how lucrative Buffett’s partnership with investment firm 3G Capital has been.

In 2013, Berkshire Hathaway Berkshire Hathaway co-invested alongside 3G in the $11 billion takeover of ketchup maker Heinz.

Kraft Foods Group, Inc.’s (KRFT – Analyst Report) shareholders approved its pending merger with H.J. His prize: a stake of about $24-billion (U.S.) in the new company, which began trading Monday.

The Kraft Heinz Company now owns a laundry list of some of the world’s best-known brands, including Jell-O, Maxwell House, Planters, and Kraft as well as Heinz’s ketchup, soups, and other products. The food companies said earlier this week that eight of the 10 executives who have been tapped for the senior leadership team to head the merged entity will be from Heinz.

Prior to the closing of the deal, Kraft Heinz announced that Bernardo Hees an executive at 3G would be the CEO of Kraft Heinz, while Paulo Basilio the CFO at Heinz would assume that same role for the new company. At present, Kraft employs 22,000 workers in the North American region. The move helped the company to garner $250 million worth of savings annually. All these modifications, nevertheless, did manage to improve earnings, providing a 41% boost to net income for Heinz’s first quarter, in spite of a sales decline. It has said it may cut $1.5 billion of annual costs at Kraft Heinz by 2017.

The companys immediate focus is on integrating the two businesses and establishing a new organisational structure, while delivering its financial objectives for 2015. “It has been a privilege to serve Kraft, and I look forward to continue serving The Kraft Heinz Company on its board of directors”. The Heinz brand and business will remain headquartered in Pittsburgh and the Kraft brand and business will remain headquartered in the Chicago area.
