Hemmer Ketchup Tradicional

Hemmer is a traditional Brazilian food brand founded in 1915 by Heinrich Hemmer in Blumenau, Santa Catarina. Originally starting as a producer of sauerkraut, the company expanded over a century to become one of Brazil's most recognized brands for pickles, condiments, and sauces.

The Ketchup Tradicional is primarily manufactured in Brazil, specifically in the Santa Catarina region where the company maintains its main industrial facilities. In 2021, a major shift in ownership occurred when the American multinational Kraft Heinz announced its acquisition of Hemmer. This strategic move allowed Kraft Heinz to expand its presence in the Brazilian market by incorporating Hemmer's extensive distribution network and diverse product portfolio under its global umbrella.
