Lay's is one of the world's most recognized snack brands, originally founded in the United States. Its history dates back to 1932 when Herman Lay opened a snack food operation in Tennessee, eventually merging with Frito Co. in 1961.

Today, the brand is owned by the global conglomerate PepsiCo. For the Spanish market, the products are distributed and often manufactured by PepsiCo Foods, A.I.E., which maintains a significant production presence in Spain, specifically with facilities in regions like Burgos and headquarters in Vitoria (Álava), as indicated on the packaging. The ultimate ownership lies with PepsiCo, Inc., headquartered in the USA, managing a vast portfolio of beverages and snacks worldwide.
