Patch had a chance to talk with The Kraft Group.

Patch: How long have you been doing business in town, or how long has your organization been around in the community?

Kraft Group: The Kraft Group was founded in 1998 by Robert Kraft. The New England Patriots were purchased by Kraft in 1994. The Kraft family was one of the original founders of Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1996 and founded the New England Revolution as one of the league’s 10 charter clubs.

Patch: How would you say your business or organization distinguishes itself from the others?

Kraft Group: Robert Kraft laid the foundation for starting a uniquely diversified and financially strong group of businesses. Each of the Kraft Group’s companies has since inherited the mission of building a mutually beneficial long-term relationship with all of its business partners.

This strategy has led to a successful track record in six areas of focus:

• Paper and packaging manufacturing and distribution of forest products
• Sports, entertainment and event management
• Construction and real estate development
• Private equity and venture investing
• Sustainability
• Philanthropy

Patch: Do you have any events coming up in your community? If so, tell us about them.

Kraft Group: Gillette Stadium will be hosting the New England Patriots vs. the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 14.
