Maggi

The Maggi brand originated in Switzerland in the 1880s, created by entrepreneur Julius Maggi when he took over his father's mill (who himself was an Italian immigrant). He wanted to improve the nutritional consumption of working families, creating plant-based ready made meals and instant soups rich in protein. a Unique slice of history stood the test of time with Lazenby Worcester Sauce. E Lazenby & Sons was acquired by Cross & Blackwell in 1919. Nestle sold off their Cross & Blackwell operations in the early 21st century, and the (unused) rights to the E Lazenby name were acquired by Premier Foods. Nestle retains the rights to the Lazenby name in South Africa, where it survives as a popular brand of Worcestershire Sauce
