Walkers is a quintessential British snack brand with a history dating back to 1948 when Henry Walker first began producing potato crisps in Leicester to cope with post-war meat rationing. The brand quickly became a household name in the UK, known for its wide variety of flavors and its iconic logo, which is identical to the Lays brand used in other markets.

Today, Walkers is owned by the American multinational corporation PepsiCo, which acquired the brand in 1989. While the brand is part of a global portfolio, production for the UK market remains heavily concentrated in the United Kingdom, specifically at the world's largest crisp factory in Leicester. The Oven Baked range represents a healthier alternative to traditional fried crisps, reflecting the brand's adaptation to modern dietary trends while maintaining its British heritage under global ownership.
