Knorr Grøntsagsbouillon

Knorr is one of the world's most recognizable food brands, with a history dating back to 1838 when Carl Heinrich Knorr opened his first factory in Heilbronn, Germany. Originally focused on supplying chicory to the coffee industry, Knorr pivoted to experimenting with drying vegetables and seasonings to preserve their nutritional value and flavor. This pioneering work led to the launch of the first dried soups in 1873 and the iconic bouillon cube in 1912, which revolutionized home cooking by making rich stocks accessible to everyone.

Today, Knorr is the flagship food brand of the global conglomerate Unilever. While its historic heart and central innovation center remain in Heilbronn, Germany, the brand's manufacturing footprint is truly global to meet local demand in over 90 countries. For the European market, products are primarily manufactured in Germany, though local facilities and subsidiaries across the continent and beyond handle production and distribution to ensure regional relevance and freshness.

As of 2026, Knorr continues to operate under Unilever's ownership, focusing heavily on sustainability and plant-based nutrition. The brand is committed to sourcing the vast majority of its ingredients through regenerative agriculture, maintaining its status as a staple in kitchens worldwide by blending its German heritage with a modern commitment to the planet.
