H.P. Hood Inc.
 PROFILE
H.P. Hood is busily trying to cream its competition -- with ice cream, sour cream, and whipping cream. The company, one of New England's leading dairies, also produces milk, cottage cheese, and juices. Besides its own brands, H.P. Hood makes private-label, licensed, and franchise products. It specializes in extended shelf-life products. The company has plants in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, and Virginia. Founded in 1846 by Harvey P. Hood as a one-man milk-delivery service, H.P. Hood still offers home delivery. The family of CEO John Kaneb owns the company. Industry sources say the company may try to buy a portion of the US dairy business owned by Wessanen, a Dutch food group .
