Convenience foods - packaged soups, frozen meals, prepared sauces and flavourings - date back more than a century. With the Industrial Revolution came factory jobs for women who had less time to prepare meals. The problem was so widespread that it became the object of intense study in 1882 for the Swiss Public Welfare Society. The Society commissioned Julius Maggi, a miller with a reputation as an inventive and capable businessman, to create a vegetable food product that would be quick to prepare and easy to digest.

His first inventions helped launch one of the best known brands in the history of the food industry. By the turn of the century, Maggi & Company was producing not only powdered soups, but bouillon cubes, sauces and flavourings.

Maggi merged with Nestlé in 1947. BUITONI, the authentic Italian brand, which has been producing pasta and sauces in Italy since 1827, became part of the Nestlé Group in 1988.
