Company history
[edit]The company's history dates back to 1962 in when Irmgard von Opel , together with her two sons, Carlo and Heinz, started producing potato chips under the brand name Chio (an anagram of Carlo Irmgard Heinz Opel).[7]
In 1968 in Cologne, the company Pfeifer & Langen also began producing potato chips under the brand name Chipsfrisch . The merger of Chipsfrisch with parts of the company Pfanni led in 1972 to the creation of the company funny-frisch , which was merged in 1977 with Chio-Chips into the Conventgruppe group.[citation needed]
In 1998, Intersnack acquired the Vico company, and its Vico and Monster Munch brands. Since then it is run as subsidiary Intersnack France.[8]
In 2012, Intersnack acquired KP Snacks from United Biscuits.[9]
In December 2019, Intersnack and Philippine company Universal Robina formed Unisnack ANZ, a joint venture comprising Griffin's Foods and Snack Brands Australia. Intersnack held a 40% stake in the consolidated business.[10][11] In August 2021, Universal Robina exited the Australian and New Zealand market by selling its remaining 60% stake in Unisnack ANZ to the company.[12]
