Chio Red Paprika Potato Chips

Chio is a major European snack brand with a heritage dating back to 1962. It was established by the German Von Opel family—specifically Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard—who used the first letters of their names (C-H-I-O) to form the brand. Recognized as the first brand to produce potato chips in Germany, Chio began production at the Petersau farm. Over the decades, it evolved from a family business into a leading international label.

Today, Chio is a flagship brand of the Intersnack Group, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of savory snacks. While the brand originated in Germany, its manufacturing process is highly decentralized to ensure product freshness and regional availability. Production takes place across several European facilities, including large plants in Germany, Poland, Romania, and Hungary. The brand remains privately held through the Intersnack Group, which itself is owned by the Pfeifer & Langen family holding.
