Chio is a prominent European snack brand with a heritage rooted in Germany. It was founded in 1962 by the Von Opel family at Hofgut Petersau. The name 'Chio' is an acronym derived from the first names of the founding family members: Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard von Opel. Since its inception, Chio has grown from being Germany's first potato chip brand into a major international player in the savory snacks market.
Today, Chio is owned by the Intersnack Group, a leading European conglomerate in the snack industry. The Intersnack Group itself is ultimately owned by the German holding company Pfeifer & Langen. While the brand has German origins, its products, including the popular Wild Paprika Tortillas, are manufactured in various locations across Europe, including Germany, Romania, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, depending on the specific regional market and supply chain requirements.
