Knorr food products

Knorr is one of the world's most recognizable food and beverage brands, specializing in dehydrated soup and meal mixes, bouillon cubes, and condiments. The brand was founded in 1838 by Carl Heinrich Knorr in Heilbronn, Germany. Knorr pioneered the process of drying ingredients while preserving their nutritional value and flavor, which led to the launch of the first Knorr dried soups across Continental Europe in 1873.

Today, Knorr is a global powerhouse with a presence in nearly every country. Due to its massive scale, manufacturing is decentralized and takes place in multiple countries including Germany, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, Brazil, and many others to serve local markets efficiently. Since 2000, Knorr has been a flagship brand under the ultimate ownership of Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company. As of 2026, it remains a central pillar of Unilever's Nutrition business group, focusing on sustainable sourcing and 'future foods' initiatives.
