1966 · The beginning

Born from a vision

Easispice Manufacturers Limited, a family-run business, came into being in 1966, born out of the vision of the founder, the late Karam S. Josephs, assisted by his wife and co-founder the late Mrs. Carmen Ramson-Josephs, to create a line of blended seasonings to simplify the day-to-day household cooking chores of people on the go.

It started from humble beginnings, utilising manual grinding, blending and packaging with coal-heated clothes irons for sealing, within the confines of a very limited working space.

Today, carrying on the legacy of Mr. Josephs and Mrs. Josephs, their son Mr. Peter Ramson (CEO) guides the business, which has expanded significantly — utilising some 8,100 sq ft of factory space with automatic packaging and processing machinery, facilitating efficient production.
