Hemmer Mayonnaise

Hemmer is a prestigious Brazilian brand of preserves and condiments, founded in 1915 in Blumenau, Santa Catarina. Originally established by Heinrich Hemmer as a company focused on sauerkraut and vegetable preserves, it grew into a national leader in the condiments market. The brand is particularly known for its focus on quality raw materials and traditional recipes that resonate with the Brazilian palate.

In 2021, a major change in ownership occurred when Kraft Heinz announced the acquisition of Hemmer (Companhia Hemmer Indústria e Comércio). This strategic move was intended to expand Kraft Heinz's portfolio in the Brazilian market, particularly in the sauces and preserves segment. While Kraft Heinz is an American multinational, Hemmer products continue to be manufactured primarily in Brazil, leveraging local industrial plants in Santa Catarina to maintain regional distribution and supply national demand.
