A Future Built on Heritage and Innovation
At Kohlico Brands, our mission is simple: to create bold, exciting and unforgettable food experiences.
From sauces that bring the heat to snacks that redefine popcorn, our brands are united by one vision. To deliver quality without compromise.
From a market stall in Bradford to a globally recognised food business, our journey is driven by passion, perseverance and a love of great food.
As we continue to grow, we remain true to the spirit of our founder, always looking ahead and always bringing something new to the table.
Because great food isn’t just about taste. It’s about legacy.
Built on Resilience, Ambition and a Passion for Food
The story of Kohlico Brands begins in the 1940s, when Tara Singh Kohli set out on a journey that would lay the foundation for a lasting family legacy.
With roots in Calcutta’s tea trade, his family had built a reputation for exporting quality tea across the Middle East. But Mr. Kohli saw an opportunity beyond the borders of India.
Arriving in Bradford, England in the early post-war years, he began with a small drapery stall at local markets, working tirelessly to build a future in a new land.
His entrepreneurial spirit soon led him into food imports. A move that would shape the future of the business. What started as a modest venture grew into Kohli & Company, one of Britain’s largest continental food importers.
A Family Legacy,A Vision for the Future.
What began as a single man’s ambition has evolved into a thriving, family-run business, carried forward by generations of the Kohli family.
With each new chapter, Kohlico Brands has grown, adapted and expanded, while staying true to the pioneering spirit of its founder.
Today, family remains at the heart of the company, blending tradition with innovation to bring high-quality, flavour packed products to consumers worldwide.
Building a House of Brands
Decades later, that same pioneering spirit continues to drive Kohlico Brands forward.
Evolving from an importer into a leading innovator in the food industry, the company is now home to five distinct brands, each created to deliver bold, exciting flavours to consumers worldwide.
