Pringles is an iconic brand of potato and wheat-based stackable snacks, instantly recognizable by its parabolic shape and cylindrical can packaging. Originally developed by Procter & Gamble in the United States during the late 1960s, the brand was created to solve the problem of broken and greasy potato chips. The unique recipe and shape were engineered by chemist Fredric Baur and Alexander Liepa.
In 2012, the brand was acquired by Kellogg Company (now known as Kellanova), marking a significant shift in its corporate ownership. Following the corporate spin-off of Kellogg's cereal business in 2023, Pringles remained part of Kellanova. In a more recent development toward 2024 and beyond, Mars, Incorporated reached an agreement to acquire Kellanova, bringing Pringles into the portfolio of one of the world's largest privately held food companies. Today, while the brand has American roots, Pringles sold in the European market are primarily manufactured in Mechelen, Belgium, and Kutno, Poland.
