Koo is one of South Africa's most iconic and enduring heritage brands, originally established in 1940. It is widely recognized for its extensive range of canned goods, including baked beans, sweetcorn, and mixed vegetables, which have become staples in South African households. The brand's name was derived from the Langeberg Co-operative, and it quickly became synonymous with quality preserved produce.

The manufacturing occurs primarily in South Africa, utilizing locally grown produce from various agricultural regions across the country. Over the decades, Koo transitioned from a co-operative venture to a commercial powerhouse under the ownership of Tiger Brands. As of 2026, it remains a flagship label within the Tiger Brands portfolio, benefiting from extensive local distribution and a growing export market across the African continent and abroad.
