Patak's is a UK brand of Indian-style curry pastes, sauces and spices. It was founded in 1957 by wife-and-husband team Gujarati-British entrepreneurs Shanta Pathak and Lakshmishankar Pathak, who came to Britain, penniless, with their family as refugees from Kenya, and acquired by Associated British Foods in May 2007 for £200 million.
The company supplies 75% of British curry houses with sauces and mixed spices, and sells ready meals to major retailers throughout Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
