Chio Chips snacks

Chio is a renowned snack brand that was originally founded in Germany in 1962 by the Opel family. The name 'Chio' is an acronym derived from the family members' names: Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard von Opel. Since its inception, the brand has become a household name across Europe, particularly known for its variety of potato chips, tortillas, and specialty snacks.

Today, the brand is a core part of the Intersnack Group, one of the leading manufacturers of savory snacks in Europe. While the brand has deep German roots, the manufacturing of Chio products is decentralized, with production facilities located in various countries including Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Poland to serve local European markets. This distributed manufacturing model ensures freshness and allows for regional flavor variations.

Under the ownership of Intersnack Group, Chio continues to expand its international presence, maintaining a focus on high-quality ingredients and innovative snacking experiences. The ultimate parent company, Intersnack, remains headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, overseeing a vast portfolio of international snack brands.
