Chio potato chips and snacks

Chio is a renowned brand in the European snack market, particularly famous for its potato chips, tortilla chips, and specialty snacks. The brand was established in 1962 by the Opel family (Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard von Opel) in Germany. The name 'Chio' is derived from the first letters of their names: Carlo, Heinz, Irmgard Opel.

Over the decades, the brand has grown significantly, becoming a household name across Central and Eastern Europe. While its roots are firmly in Germany, Chio is now part of a larger international conglomerate. The manufacturing of Chio products is distributed across various European locations, including Germany, Hungary, and Poland, to serve local markets efficiently with fresh products.

Today, Chio is a flagship brand of Intersnack Group, one of the leading snack manufacturers in Europe. The group maintains a decentralized structure, allowing Chio to adapt to local tastes while benefiting from global supply chains and innovation.
