About the owner: Tiger Brands
Tiger Brands is a publicly listed company headquartered in Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa, founded in 1921. Brandtree records 11 brands under its control, and it is listed as JSE: TBS.
Tiger Brands is the largest packaged food company in South Africa, founded in 1921 around an oat mill and now the owner of brands it says are found in 88 per cent of South African households. Its portfolio runs from staples such as rice, bread and canned vegetables to insecticides and skin cream, a spread that reflects a domestic market where a single trusted name is expected to cover most of a household's shopping rather than one aisle of it.
