KiMs is an iconic Danish snack brand that has been a staple in the Nordic market for decades. Originally founded in Odense, Denmark, by Kim Hamann in the early 1960s, the brand was initially part of the Dansk Salt group. Over time, it became the leading producer of chips and snacks in Denmark, known for its humorous marketing and classic products like these Paprika Skruer (Paprika Twists).
Manufacturing for the Danish market takes place primarily at their specialized snack factory located in Søndersø, Denmark. This local production ensures freshness and maintains the specific flavor profiles preferred by Scandinavian consumers.
While KiMs is intrinsically Danish in its heritage, it is currently owned by the Norwegian conglomerate Orkla ASA. Orkla acquired the brand as part of its expansion into the Nordic food sector. Today, KiMs operates under the Orkla Confectionery & Snacks division, benefiting from the resources of a major international group while maintaining its distinct Danish identity and manufacturing base.
