Old Dutch Potato Chips

Old Dutch potato chips are a prominent snack brand with a dual identity in North America. While the brand originated in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1934, it has become deeply ingrained in Canadian culture since expanding to Winnipeg in 1954. Today, the product is manufactured in multiple locations across both the United States and Canada to serve its regional markets.

In the United States, production is centered in Minnesota, particularly at the company headquarters in Roseville. In Canada, Old Dutch maintains a robust manufacturing network with facilities in cities such as Winnipeg, Calgary, Airdrie, and Hartland. Despite its heavy presence and perception as a local favorite in Western Canada, the brand remains privately owned by the American-based Aanenson family, who have steered the company since 1952. The company further expanded its regional reach by acquiring Humpty Dumpty Snack Foods in 2006, solidifying its place as a major independent snack producer in both the Midwestern U.S. and across Canada.
