About Maggi
Maggi was founded by Julius Maggi in Switzerland in 1884 to make protein-rich legume flours for working families who could not afford meat, and went on to create the bouillon cube and a seasoning sauce that became a pantry staple across Europe, Asia and Africa. Nestlé acquired the company in 1947.
