In 1820 the brothers Wilhelm and Luis Born founded a factory in Erfurt-Ilversgehofen, producing mustard, vinegar and other food products. The company was owned by the family until the 1970s, when they were nationalized by the GDR government. Since 1990 it has been privately owned again. Executive Officer is Hans-Dieter Büttner. At the moment there are 50 employees.
Besides several kinds of mustard, the company produces ketchup, vinegar, horseradish condiments, mayonnaise as well as different salad dressing and sauces. Born mustard and ketchup can be found at nearly every outlet selling Bratwurst in Thuringia.
