Our Consumer Business




From locations around the world, our consumer brands reach nearly 100 countries.

Customers: A variety of retail outlets that include grocery, mass merchandise, warehouse clubs, discount and drug stores, served directly and indirectly through distributors or wholesalers.

Products: Spices, herbs, extracts, seasoning blends, sauces, marinades and specialty foods. We supply both branded and private label products.

Market position: A 40-60% market share in primary markets, more than twice the size of the next largest branded competitor. As the market leader, we can more efficiently develop and support our brands.

Competitors: More than 250 other brands in the U.S. and more in international markets. Some are owned by large food manufacturers, while others are supplied by small privately owned companies.

Growth opportunities: Developing innovative products, increasing marketing effectiveness, expanding distribution and acquiring leading brands and niche products.




One way that we are building consumer interest is by revitalizing our consumer brands.
   Currently underway is the revitalization of McCormick brand spices and seasonings in the United States. Along with new products, new labels and new flip-top caps, we are introducing new store shelving systems to make shopping easier for the consumer. For our retail customers, restocking time is reduced by up to 40%.
