HAIN

The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.

A maker of organic and natural foods, drinks, and personal-care products, The Hain Celestial Group owns familiar names like Celestial Seasonings teas, Earth's Best baby food, Garden Veggie Snacks, and Alba Botanica. It grew out of the Hain Pure Food Co., founded in 1926, and took its modern shape in 1993 when Irwin Simon built the company through a string of acquisitions. One brand owes its name to 'Celestial,' the nickname of a co-founder's girlfriend back in 1969.
