The history of Bakers in South Africa

The story of Bakers in South Africa began in 1851 when John Frederick Baumann, a young German baker, arrived in Durban. He started a small bakery which grew steadily and gained a reputation for quality. In 1881, the business became known as Baumann’s Biscuits, and in 1915, it officially adopted the name Bakers Limited. That same year, Bakers became the first company in South Africa to produce packaged biscuits, setting a new standard for convenience and hygiene in the country’s food industry.

Over the decades, Bakers became a beloved household name, known for its classic products like Tennis Biscuits, Lemon Creams, Eet-Sum-Mor, and Romany Creams. The company played a key role in shaping South Africa’s tea-time culture and continues to be a symbol of nostalgia and comfort. In 1999, Bakers was acquired by National Brands Limited, a division of AVI Limited, allowing the brand to modernise while retaining its heritage. Today, Bakers remains one of South Africa’s most iconic and trusted food brands, with a legacy built on quality, consistency, and tradition.
