Frito-Lay Ruffles potato chips

Ruffles is a world-renowned brand of ridged potato chips highly recognized for their distinct thick and crunchy texture. The brand's history dates back to 1948 when it was first introduced by Bernhardt Stahmer. It later became part of the Frito-Lay family when Frito-Lay's predecessor, The Frito Company, acquired the rights in the late 1950s. Today, it remains one of the core snack brands sold globally.

Manufacturing of Ruffles chips occurs primarily across a network of regional plants in the United States and Canada to ensure product freshness, though production facilities are also located in various international markets to serve local demand. The brand is currently owned by PepsiCo, one of the world's largest food and beverage corporations, following the 1965 merger between Frito-Lay and Pepsi-Cola.
