KiMs is an iconic Danish snack brand specifically known for its chips and nuts. The brand's journey began in 1961, initially established by Odense Marcipanfabrik. It was named after a popular Danish male name, Kim, following a naming contest. The brand has since become synonymous with Danish 'hygge' and social gatherings.

Today, KiMs is part of the Orkla Group, a leading Norwegian industrial conglomerate. While the brand is quintessentially Danish and maintains its major production facilities in Søndersø, Denmark, the raw ingredients like peanuts are sourced internationally. Ownership transitioned from the original founders through various acquisitions before settling under Orkla's umbrella, ensuring the brand remains a dominant force in the Nordic snack market.
