United Biscuits

United Biscuits is one of the world's most recognized manufacturers of baked snacks, with a history rooted in the traditional baking excellence of the United Kingdom. Founded in 1948 through the merger of two Scottish family businesses—McVitie & Price and Macfarlane Lang—the company has grown into a global powerhouse. Its portfolio includes some of the most iconic biscuit brands in history, such as McVitie's, Carr's, and Jacob’s.

The manufacturing operations for United Biscuits are centered in the UK, where it operates major facilities in locations like Carlisle, London, and Manchester. However, due to its global reach, the company has established manufacturing hubs in several other international markets to serve regional demands while maintaining the quality standards established by its British heritage.

In 2014, United Biscuits was acquired by the Turkish conglomerate Yıldız Holding. Since 2016, it has been a core component of pladis, a global snacking company formed by Yıldız Holding to consolidate its international confectionery and bakery brands. This ownership has transformed United Biscuits from a regional leader into a key player in the global snacking market, headquartered in London under the umbrella of one of the world's largest food groups.
