Cheetos is an iconic global snack brand known for its distinctive cheese-flavored corn puffs. The brand was originally created in 1948 by Charles Elmer Doolin, the founder of the Frito Company, in the United States. Following the merger of Frito with H.W. Lay & Company to form Frito-Lay, the brand became a staple of the American snack market and later expanded internationally.
Today, Cheetos is owned by PepsiCo, a multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation. While the brand has its roots in the United States, Cheetos are manufactured in numerous countries across the globe to serve regional markets. In the Europe and Benelux region, products like 'Big Chipito' are often produced in regional facilities located in countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, or Poland. PepsiCo manages the brand through its Frito-Lay North America division and PepsiCo International, ensuring the product reaches consumers in over 36 countries through various local subsidiaries and distribution networks.
