Discos are a long-standing British snack brand famous for their distinctive disc shape and intense flavour punch. Originally launched in 1979 by Kenyon Produce (KP), they have become a staple in the UK's 'heritage' snack market. The product is a wheat-based snack rather than a traditional potato crisp, providing a unique crunch that has maintained a loyal following for decades.
The brand is manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically at facilities operated by KP Snacks. The primary manufacturing sites for KP's bagged snacks are located in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, and Teesside. These snacks are widely distributed across the UK and Ireland, often featuring in 'Grab Bag' formats for the convenience and impulse-buy market.
Ownership of Discos has transitioned through major food conglomerates over the years. Originally part of Kenyon Produce, the brand later became part of United Biscuits. In 2012, United Biscuits sold its KP Snacks division to the Intersnack Group, a major European snack manufacturer based in Germany. As of 2026, Discos remains a key part of the KP Snacks portfolio under the ultimate ownership of the Intersnack Group.
