Chio is a renowned snack brand with deep roots in Germany. It was established in 1962 by the von Opel family, specifically Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard von Opel, who combined their initials to form the name 'Chio'. Originally founded at Hofgut Petersau, the brand became a pioneer in the European savory snack market.

Today, Chio is a flagship brand under the Intersnack Group, a major European snack manufacturer. While the brand originated in Germany, its manufacturing is distributed across multiple Intersnack production facilities throughout Europe to serve various regional markets. The Intersnack Group remains the ultimate owner, managing a vast portfolio that includes several household snack names across the continent.
