Hellmann's Majonäs (Hellmann's Mayonnaise)

Hellmann's was created in New York by Richard Hellmann in the early 20th century and introduced commercially as Hellmann's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise; the brand later expanded internationally and became a leading commercial mayonnaise. (hellmanns.com)

Today Hellmann's is a global mayonnaise and condiments brand sold across many markets; production and packaging are handled in multiple Unilever facilities worldwide rather than a single country, so products sold in a given market are typically produced regionally to meet local demand and regulatory/ingredient variations. (en.wikipedia.org)

The Hellmann's brand and product line have been owned by Unilever since the group acquired Bestfoods (the previous owner) around 2000; Unilever (headquartered in the UK) remains the ultimate owner and manager of the brand's global operations. (en.wikipedia.org)

In Sweden the brand is marketed and supplied locally through Unilever Sverige AB (listed as the supplier on Swedish retailer product pages), with the actual jar or bottle typically labelled with the country of manufacture for that SKU; because Unilever runs multiple production sites for Hellmann's across regions (e.g., Europe, North America, Latin America), the manufacturing country will vary by product line and pack size.
