History The history of Kraft dates back to 1903, when with $65 in capital, a rented wagon and a horse named Paddy, J.L. Kraft started purchasing cheese at Chicago's Water Street wholesale market and reselling it to local merchants. From that first idea of selling wholesale cheese to stores, Kraft has been a company built on innovation. Through the years many people have contributed to the success of Kraft - and its numerous predecessor companies, some of which trace their heritage back to the 1700s. These contributions have resulted in numerous breakthrough ideas, such as the 1898 introduction of the Uneeda biscuit, which featured the first "inner-seal" packaging; the 1906 launch of Kaffee Hag, the first decaffeinated coffee; the 1927 introduction of Kool-Aid, the first successful powdered soft drink; the 1950 introduction of Kraft Deluxe, the first commercially packaged process-cheese slices; the 1995 launch of DiGiorno Rising Crust pizza, revolutionizing the frozen pizza category; and the 2004 introduction of the Tassimo hot beverage system.
