Chio Party Mix

Chio is a prominent European snack brand with deep German roots. Originally established in 1962 by the von Opel family (the name Chio is derived from Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard von Opel), it was the first potato chip brand produced in Germany. Over the decades, the brand expanded its portfolio beyond chips to include baked snacks like the Party Mix seen here, which contains various pretzel shapes and salted crackers.

Today, Chio is a core brand of the Intersnack Group, a major European snack food manufacturer headquartered in Düsseldorf. While the brand originated in Germany, its products are manufactured in several locations across Europe to serve different regional markets. The Intersnack Group operates as a robust conglomerate, managing numerous local and international snack brands while maintaining a decentralized structure that allows for localized manufacturing and distribution, ensuring freshness and compliance with regional food standards.
