Knorr is a globally recognized food brand with a legacy dating back to 1838 when Carl Heinrich Knorr founded the company in Heilbronn, Germany. Originally a wholesaler of agricultural products, Knorr revolutionized home cooking by perfecting food drying techniques to preserve flavor and nutritional value. The brand became famous for its bouillon cubes and dried soup mixes, eventually expanding into a vast array of meal kits, seasonings, and sauces.
Historically a cornerstone of Unilever’s food portfolio, the Knorr brand underwent a significant ownership shift in 2026. Following an agreement announced in early 2026, Unilever's entire food division, including Knorr, combined with McCormick & Company to create a new global flavor powerhouse. This strategic move repositioned the brand under a combined entity headquartered in Maryland, USA, while maintaining an international base in the Netherlands.
Manufacturing for Knorr products like the Spaghetti Bolognese meal mix occurs in multiple locations across Europe, including Germany and potentially local production sites in the Netherlands, to serve regional markets with familiar, sustainable ingredients.
