About Ami
Ami, sold under the line "l'ami de la cuisine", is Patisen's second seasoning brand and the only one besides ADJA that crosses into mayonnaise. It carries five products: bouillon cubes in tomato, chicken and shrimp flavours, a ground spice mix, and a mayonnaise of its own. Running Ami alongside ADJA and three further bouillon brands lets Patisen hold several shelf positions in a single category.

About the owner: Patisen
Patisen is a privately held company headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, founded in 1981. Brandtree records 14 brands under its control.
Patisen is a Senegalese food manufacturer founded in Dakar in 1981 and built on stock cubes and seasoning powders, the products West African cooking leans on daily. It describes itself as a leading African food business with around 3,000 staff, four industrial and logistics sites, and distribution across more than 23 African countries as well as France and Canada. Its fourteen brands are deliberately layered at different price points, so that several of them compete in the bouillon aisle at once. Teralys, the agri-food subsidiary of the Moroccan investment company Al Mada, bought a majority stake in July 2023; founder Youssef Omaïs remained a shareholder.
