Arnott's is an iconic Australian brand with a legacy dating back to 1865 when William Arnott opened his first bakery in Newcastle, New South Wales. Over more than 150 years, the brand has become synonymous with Australian food culture, producing household favorites like Tim Tams, Shapes, and these Arnott's Minis Choc Chip Cookies.

While the brand remains deeply rooted in Australia—maintaining several bakeries across Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide—its ownership has undergone significant transitions. For many years, Arnott's was owned by the American food giant Campbell Soup Company. However, in 2019, the brand was acquired by KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts), a global investment firm headquartered in the United States. Following this acquisition, the Arnott's Group was formed to manage the brand and its regional operations.

Today, the Arnott's Group operates as a leading consumer food business across the Asia-Pacific region. Despite its international ownership, the majority of Arnott's products sold in its home market are still manufactured in Australian facilities using local ingredients, though some specific lines or export products are produced in other regional hubs such as Indonesia to meet global demand.
