Owner:Nestlé S.A. (Switzerland)
OriginUnited Kingdom
Manufactured:Multiple countries

KitKat is one of the world's most iconic chocolate brands, originally created by Rowntree's in York, United Kingdom, in 1935 as 'Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp'. The brand was renamed to KitKat in 1937 and quickly became a global staple. In 1988, the Swiss multinational Nestlé acquired Rowntree's, bringing the brand into its extensive global portfolio.

Today, KitKat is produced in numerous countries to satisfy regional demand, including large manufacturing facilities in the UK, United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria, and Japan. Ownership of the brand remains under Nestlé globally, though it is famously produced under license by The Hershey Company in the United States. The barcode prefix '761' specifically identifies the Swiss branch of the EAN system, reflecting the headquarters of the parent company.
