About the history of Born

Born has been producing condiments in the heart of Germany since 1820, when brothers Louis and Wilhelm Born established their factory in Erfurt. What began as a modest production of mustard and vinegar grew into one of the country's most enduring food brands.

The company's history reflects German history itself. Born was nationalised during the GDR era in the 1970s, only to return to private ownership following German reunification in 1990. Today, production is firmly back in Erfurt, where it all began.

For anyone with roots in eastern Germany or who simply values honest, traditional condiments, Born products offer an authentic taste of the German kitchen. The brand's mustards, ketchups and sauces are staples in households that value quality and heritage over novelty.
