Kellogg Company recently unveiled the names for the future companies it will create through its planned separation into two industry-leading, public companies focused on global snacking and North American cereal. The names will go into effect in connection with the spin-off of the North American cereal business, which Kellogg Company intends to complete by the end of 2023. While the company names will change upon spin completion, the \u201cKellogg\u2019s\u201d brand will remain on product packaging of both companies around the world.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The global snacking, international cereal and noodles, plant-based foods, and North American frozen breakfast business will be named \u2018Kellanova\u2019. Kellanova will be a global snacking powerhouse with a portfolio of iconic, world-class brands, including Pringles, Cheez-It, Pop-Tarts, Kellogg\u2019s Rice Krispies Treats, MorningStar Farms, Incogmeato, Gardenburger, Nutri-Grain, RXBAR, and Eggo. Kellanova will also steward a suite of international cereal brands, including Kellogg\u2019s, Frosties, Zucaritas, Special K, Krave, Miel Pops, Coco Pops, and Crunchy Nut, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe name Kellanova signals the company\u2019s ambition for the future, building on the strong brand equity and legacy built over the past 117 years as Kellogg Company,\u201d said Steve Cahillane, Kellogg Company\u2019s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and future Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kellanova. \u201cThe \u2018Kell\u2019 overtly recognizes our enduring connection to Kellogg Company, while \u2018anova,\u2019 which combines \u2018a\u2019 and the Latin word \u2018nova,\u2019 meaning \u2018new,\u2019 signals our ambition to continuously evolve as an innovative, next generation, global snacking powerhouse. The Kellanova logo retains the iconic Kellogg Company \u2018K\u2019 to intentionally connect to our heritage and the strong foundation that got us to where we are today. The forward curved and extended \u2018v\u2019 embodies our forward momentum as we embark on this next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The North American cereal business will be named \u2018WK Kellogg Co\u2019. WK Kellogg Co will be an iconic food company in the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean, with a heritage of innovation and more than a century of operational success driven by its portfolio of world-class brands, including Kellogg\u2019s, Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Mini-Wheats, Special K, Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, Kashi, and Bear Naked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe name WK Kellogg Co honours the legacy of founder W.K. Kellogg, celebrating his spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. At the same time, we are looking forward, focused on propelling the company into the future. We eliminated the use of periods in the name to signal the start of a new, unwritten chapter,\u201d said Gary Pilnick, Chief Executive Officer Designate of WK Kellogg Co. \u201cThe logo itself stems from the iconic signature of Mr. Kellogg. We have taken his instantly recognizable script and then underlined and elevated the \u2018Co,\u2019 emphasizing our ambition as a 117-year-old start-up taking Mr. Kellogg\u2019s original company to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kellanova will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol \u201cK.\u201d Ticker and exchange information for WK Kellogg Co will be announced in the coming months.<\/p>\n
