In 1884, Julius invented maggi because he wanted to create a culinary solution for busy families with no time to cook nutritious meals at home. As more and more women began working in factories and spending less time at home, he saw a true need for delicious, inexpensive meals that were quick and easy to prepare.

In 1886, after a few years of intense research, as per the Nestle website, the first powdered soups were born: MAGGI Pea and Bean Soup.

But he didn't stop there, and following the massive success of the soup, he went on to invent the famous Maggi liquid seasoning sauce we all know and love to this day, as well as the popular Maggi Bouillon cubes that are a staple in millions of homes. All of his products were the first of their kind and quickly spread from his native Switzerland to Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia to every corner of the world.

When Did Nestle Acquire Maggi?
