Taffel Texas Style Barbecue chips

Taffel is a leading snack brand with deep roots in Northern Europe, specifically the Åland Islands of Finland. Founded in 1969 by Chips Ab Suomi, it was the first company to produce potato chips in Finland. The brand quickly became a household name in the Nordics and Baltics, known for its wide variety of flavors and crispy textures.

Today, the brand is owned by the Norwegian industrial conglomerate Orkla ASA, following its acquisition of Chips Ab in 2005. Production is primarily concentrated in two main facilities: the original factory in Haraldsby, Åland (Finland), and a significant production center in Ādaži, Latvia. These factories supply Taffel products to various European markets, ensuring a consistent regional presence.

Ownership of the brand remains under Orkla, which manages Taffel through its subsidiaries, Orkla Suomi in Finland and Orkla Latvija in the Baltic region. The brand continues to innovate with new flavors like the 'Texas Style Barbecue' featured here, while maintaining its status as a cornerstone of the Nordic snack industry.
