Chio Chips

Chio is a prominent European snack brand that originally debuted in Germany. The brand name itself is an acronym of the founding family’s names: Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard von Opel, who established the brand in 1962. It is recognized as the first potato chip brand in Germany, setting the stage for the modern snack industry in the region.

Over the decades, Chio has grown into a versatile snack line including various flavors of potato chips, tortillas, and popcorn. Today, the brand is a key property of the Intersnack Group, one of the leading manufacturers of savory snacks in Europe. While manufacturing is heavily concentrated in German facilities, the company maintains a broad production network across Europe to serve its diverse international markets.
