Knorr is one of the world's best-known food brands, specializing in dehydrated soup and sauce mixes, bouillon cubes, and condiments. The brand was founded in 1838 by Carl Heinrich Theodor Knorr in Heilbronn, Germany. Initially, the company experimented with drying vegetables and seasonings to preserve nutrients and flavor, leading to the launch of the first Knorr dried soups across Continental Europe in 1873.
Today, Knorr is a global brand with a presence in nearly every corner of the world. Because it is a mass-market food staple, manufacturing occurs in multiple countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas to serve local markets efficiently. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in culinary tradition, maintaining its status as a household name for over 180 years.
Since 2000, Knorr has been owned by Unilever, one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. Under Unilever's ownership, the brand has expanded its product line to include healthy meal kits and sustainable sourcing initiatives, while remaining headquartered under the British multinational's corporate umbrella.
