Business Summary
Sara Lee Corporation is a global manufacturer and marketer of high-quality, brand name products for consumers throughout the world. Sara Lee has operations in more than 40 countries and markets branded consumer products in over 170 countries. In May 2000, the Company announced plans to reshape its business by focusing on a smaller number of global-branded consumer packaged goods businesses. Sara Lee's reshaping plans reaffirm its focus of marketing repeat purchase, non-durable, branded packaged products. The reshaping also narrows the Company's focus to three major global businesses -- Food and Beverage, Intimates and Underwear, and Household Products.
