Schwartz (brand)

Last updated

The Schwartz company was founded in 1841 to sell coffee in Nova Scotia, Canada. [1] In 1984 McCormick & Company took over the brand, thereby becoming the world's largest producer of herbs, spices, and seasonings.

Started in Halifax, Canada, by William Henry Schwartz, the son of a German [2] baker of the same name from Amsterdam, [1] the company grew as a family operation. Son W. E. Schwartz [3] added pure spices [2] with the purchase of a spice mill in 1880. By the 1930s the company was selling in more than fifty countries. Its slogan was "Say Schwartz and be Sure" and by the 1950s their current "S" trademark was in use. [2] Subsequent changes in ownership have resulted in the business now being represented solely by the brand.
