In 1919, U.S. stockholders acquired control of the company. By 1929, it opened its first factory in the United States. The trend towards diversification accelerated in 1969-70, with the purchase of the 115-year-old Miller Brewing Company, and then again in the mid-1980s with the procurement of General Foods and Kraft Foods in the largest non-oil-related acquisitions in U.S. history.
