AT A GLANCE

Savonor’s journey began in 1970 when it was created by Mr. Dieter Kuntze, a German immigrant who came from a long line of soapmakers dating back to the Holy Roman Empire. Savonor was first started as a family business but with time it became one of the largest manufacturing companies specialising in hygiene, food and cosmetic products in Burundi. After his retirement in 1996 his son, Matthias Kuntze, took over.
