Shaping Tomorrow Together

Modernity Stems From Tradition

People, like their food choices, are becoming increasingly individual. Cooking is a way to get creative and spend time together. That’s why we are always creating new seasoning mixes for all tastes, and innovations like the spice mill. Sustainably grown herbs and spices also ensure a better future.

"Food and cooking are constantly changing — that's why our products are always changing too."
Erwin Kotányi, General Manager

Inspiration in Green and Red

In 2003, a new spice mill makes it easy to use freshly ground spices to perfectly season your food. A new, improved grinder will be introduced ten years later.
The spirit of the 2000s inspires Kotányi to create a new packaging design. Shakers are now green, oval and streamlined.
In 2000, advertising is given a more sensory focus: "The Magic of Kotányi" exudes a sense of passionate indulgence.
With the motto "Spice up my life", Kotányi combines individuality, diversity and enjoyment — the very ideas the brand has embodied for 140 years.

We Are Always Looking for Something New

That’s why we also look to bloggers for inspiration. Through their recipes and blog articles, we discover completely new possibilities for cooking and seasoning. After all, there’s always something new to learn, even after 140 years.
