 PROFILE
During their off hours, do the Doughboy and the Jolly Green Giant kick back and enjoy a pint? The Pillsbury Company, a subsidiary of Diageo (formed from the merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness), is best known for its refrigerated doughs (#1 in the US) and baking mixes (#2, after General Mills). Market leaders in its pantry include Green Giant vegetables and side dishes and Haagen-Dazs premium ice cream. The firm's products are sold in more than 70 countries. Pillsbury's food service unit sells frozen doughs and baked goods, along with institutional sizes of its big-name brands, worldwide. Pillsbury is selling its desserts and specialty product lines, while parent Diageo is selling Pillsbury to General Mills.
