General Mills

From its milling roots, General Mills had leveraged its grain expertise into breakfast cereals, cake mixes and grain-based snacks. Pillsbury had evolved to develop unmatched expertise in refrigerated dough products. It also had a strong bakeries and foodservice business, and a growing international portfolio. Such solid underpinnings have been a recurring theme from 1866 to 2016, when General Mills began celebrating 150 years of challenges, successes and journeys into margins off the path of food. But food has been the constant. For 150 years and counting, people at General Mills have focused their passion on making food that people love.
