Snyder's of Hanover, Inc.

Hanover, PA United States

 

Company Description

Snyder's of Hanover plays its own version of Twister ... and it wins. The company is the largest pretzel maker in the US (surpassing even snack-making behemoth Frito-Lay). Along with pretzels of all shapes and sizes, Snyder's produces potato chips, tortilla chips, and the EatSmart brand of low-fat snack foods, as well as organic snacking options. Taking advantage of US consumers' love of dark chocolate, the company partners with Hershey to make dark-chocolate-covered pretzels called Dips. Snyder's snacks are sold through supermarkets, drugstores, and mass merchandisers throughout the US. In late 2010 Snyder's merged with Southern snack food giant Lance, which was renamed Snyder's-Lance.
