why 57 of 79 Heinz (his wife is heir to the heinz fortune) factories are overseas.

Heinz is an international business. They sell many different foodstuffs to many different countries. It is economic to locate your factories closer to the final destination or source of your product if you can. So Heinz has factories all over europe, south american and asia. Otherwise Heinz would go out of business from the shipping costs.
Then of course there are perishable goods that need to be processed immediately and don't have the time to be shipped to america raw.
There is really nothing ulterior about that. It's not the same thing as assembling sneakers for 8 cents in Cambodia.
