Knorr (IPA: [kə-nôr]; [ken-NOR]), is a German food and beverage brand owned by the Anglo-Dutch company Unilever, in ready-to-eat soup and condiments. Reduced calorie foods have also been produced with a dual-branding of both Knorr and Slimfast, also owned by Unilever.
Knorr was founded by Carl Heinrich Knorr in Germany in 1885. Knorr headquarters are in Heilbronn, Germany.
Such products that were previously sold under the Lipton brand are now being absorbed into the Knorr product line. The product is widely known for its 'knakworstjes', sold only in the Netherlands.
Knorr is also a railway and automotive brake system company based in Munich Germany, with operations around the world.
