Hela Gewürz Ketchup is a cult-classic German condiment, widely recognized for its distinctive curry-flavored profile. The brand originated in Hamburg, Germany, in 1905 when Hermann Laue founded his spice trading company. The iconic 'Gewürz Ketchup' (spiced ketchup) was first introduced to the German market in 1963 and has since become the market leader in the category.
Today, the brand is owned and operated by Hela Gewürzwerk Hermann Laue GmbH, which remains a family-owned business, currently managed by the fourth generation of the Laue family. While Hela has expanded internationally with subsidiaries and production facilities in various countries like Singapore and Australia to serve global markets, the primary production for the European market remains centered at their headquarters in Ahrensburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
