History
Bokomo Foods (Bolandse Kooperatiewe Molenaars) started as a wheat co-operative about 80 years ago and has since grown and expanded greatly to become one of South Africa's largest manufacturer of cereals. Bokomo also has a base in the United Kingdom as well as an alliance with Sanitarium, an Australian food manufacturer.
Over the years, Bokomo broke into the baking and dessert market, acquiring Moir's, South Africa's largest range of baking products. More recently, they also acquired Kwality Biscuits, the manufacturer of products such as Romantic Dreams, Munch-A-Lot, Centre Court and Vinta.
Many Bokomo products are endorsed by the Heart Foundation of South Africa.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.”
—Erma Brombeck (20th century)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
