About Kimball
Kimball entered the food business with edible oils and has since become mostly a canning brand: pickled cucumber, canned tuna, canned olives, canned beans, canned lentils, pickled garlic and tomato paste. Like Famila it is produced by Golbarg Baharan and distributed by Golrang Pakhsh, and the group gives no registration year for it. The name is also used by unrelated companies elsewhere, among them a Malaysian sauce maker.
