funny-frisch Potato Chips & Savoury Snacks

Brand History and Origins

funny-frisch (often colloquially misspelled as 'Fanny frisch') is one of the most prominent snack food brands in Germany, renowned for classics such as 'Chipsfrisch ungarisch'. The roots of the brand trace back to 1968, when the Cologne merchant Irmgard von Berg and companies affiliated with the snack producer 'funny' combined operations with 'frisch', leading to the formal creation of the funny-frisch brand identity.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

funny-frisch products are primarily manufactured in Germany across dedicated snack processing facilities operated by Intersnack. Major production facilities include sites in Wevelinghoven (Grevenbroich) and Alsbach-Hähnlein. The company sources regional German potatoes and ingredients adhering to rigorous European food safety and quality standards.

Ownership Structure

funny-frisch is owned by Intersnack Group GmbH & Co. KG, an internationally operating snack conglomerate based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Originally arising from the merger of snack operations including Convent Knabber-Gebäck and Wolf Bergstrasse, Intersnack remains privately held by the German Pfeifer & Langen industrialist family (Pfeifer & Langen Industrie- und Handels-KG).
