The expertise of the team at Curtis has underpinned the growth of the business over the last 20 years.
The RM stands for Robert Mayne Curtis.
Robert Mayne Curtis was the founder of RM Curtis & Co Ltd. He established the business in the City of London in 1850 and the company has traded continuously since then. Robert initially specialised in the import and distribution of herbs and spices.
His son (another Robert Mayne Curtis) continued running the family business into the 1900s. He increased the number of ingredients he imported. He sold the company in 1921, when it was incorporated as a limited company.
The company was bought by the current shareholders in 1981, and underwent a management restructure in 2001. We now specialise in dried fruits, culinary nuts and seeds, along with our cereals pulses, herbs and spices. There has been significant ongoing investment since 2001, with a focus on plant, machinery and our technical and quality processes. The company currently holds BRCGS grade AA certification.
