Hela Curry Gewürz Ketchup

Hela is a legendary German brand most famous for its 'Curry Gewürz Ketchup' (Curry Spice Ketchup), which has gained a cult following worldwide. The brand's history dates back to 1905 when Otto Hermann Laue took over a spice trade company in Hamburg. By the 1960s, the company revolutionized the condiment market by introducing ready-to-use spice blends and its signature curry ketchup in the iconic red squeeze bottle with the green cap.

While the main production facilities remain in Ahrensburg, Germany, the brand has expanded its footprint globally, operating manufacturing sites or distribution hubs in countries like Singapore to serve the Asian market. Hela remains a family-owned enterprise, maintaining its independence and commitment to traditional spice recipes that have remained largely unchanged for decades.
