Knorr bouillon and seasonings

Knorr is a global food brand with a history dating back to 1838 when Carl Heinrich Knorr opened a factory in Heilbronn, Germany, to process chicory for the coffee industry. His experiments with drying vegetables and seasonings eventually led to the launch of the first Knorr dried soups in 1873. The brand became renowned for its bouillon cubes, which were introduced in 1912.

Today, Knorr is one of the world's best-selling food brands, operating under the umbrella of Unilever. Because of its vast global footprint, manufacturing occurs in dozens of countries—including Germany, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Mexico, and Australia—to serve local tastes and supply chains. Unilever continues to oversee the brand's primary R&D and global market strategy from its headquarters in the United Kingdom.
