Erasco Graupen-Topf soup

Erasco is one of Germany's most traditional and well-known brands for ready-to-eat meals and canned soups. The brand has its roots in Lübeck, Germany, where the Erasmi & Carstens company was established, eventually leading to the creation of the Erasco brand name in 1950. The products are primarily manufactured in Germany, specifically at the large production facility in Lübeck, which serves as a central hub for their extensive range of stews and soups.

Regarding ownership, Erasco has been part of several major food conglomerates over the decades. In 2002, it was acquired by the Spanish company GBfoods (formerly known as Gallina Blanca Star). As of 2024, the brand continues to be a flagship label under the ultimate ownership of GBfoods, which is headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. The company operates in Germany through its local subsidiary, GBfoods Deutschland GmbH, maintaining Erasco's status as a leader in the German convenience food market.
