Born Tomaten Ketchup

BORN Senf & Feinkost is a historic German brand with deep roots in the state of Thuringia, particularly in the city of Erfurt. Established in 1820 by brothers Wilhelm and Louis Born, the company initially gained fame for its signature mustard before expanding into high-quality ketchups, sauces, and vinegars.

Today, the product is manufactured at the company's production facility in Erfurt, Germany. The brand maintains a strong regional identity, known for its traditional recipes and commitment to local sourcing where possible. Since 2017, the company has transitioned from long-term family ownership to being part of a larger corporate family under the KKR & Co. Inc. umbrella, after being acquired from previous investors. This ownership provides the resources to expand the brand's reach while maintaining its Thuringian heritage and manufacturing base in Germany.
