Sauer Brands, Inc., was founded by Conrad Frederick Sauer as The C.F. Sauer Company in 1887 in Richmond, VA. Mr. Sauer, a 21-year-old pharmacist by training, saw an entrepreneurial opportunity to create prepackaged pure flavoring extracts, and make them available in groceries as well as drugstores. In fact, C.F. Sauer was the first company in the country to provide pure flavoring extracts in 5- and 10-gram configurations, to be sold for 15 and 25 cents, respectively.
Today, Sauer Brands produces a broad line of flavor-enhancing products for the retail and foodservice channels, including condiments, sauces, spices, toppings and more. The company’s brands, which include Duke’s Mayonnaise, Kernel Seasons, The Spice Hunter, Sauer’s, Mateo's Salsa, and BAMA, exist to surprise, delight and inspire legions of loyal customers.
