Henry John Heinz (October 11, 1844 – May 14, 1919) was an American entrepreneur who, at the age of 25 in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, co-founded a small horseradish concern. This business failed, but his second business expanded into tomato ketchup and other condiments, and ultimately became the internationally known H. J. Heinz Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
