Kraft company ranks high among US exporters

The Kraft family may be best known for New England Patriots football, but it's no slouch in the world of paper products either.

Today the Krafts' International Forest Products Corp. of Foxborough noted that it "has moved up 60 positions in the past six years and now ranks in 40th place on the list of the Top 100 US Exporters by the Journal of Commerce."

The company goes by the initials of IFP.

"IFP is the only Massachusetts-based company to make the Top 100 list and ranks second to Connecticut’s General Electric among all New England-based exporters," the forest products company said.

International Forest Products is a member of the Kraft Group of companies, which was founded in 1972 by Robert Kraft (right).
