**KP Snacks** is a German-owned British producer of branded and own-label maize-, potato-, and nut-based snacks, "Choc Dips" and nuts. The *KP* stands for “Kenyon Produce”. The company is based in Slough, England, UK.

## History

The company was founded in 1853 as Kenyon & Son as a producer of confectionery, jam and pickles. By 1891 the company had become Kenyon & Son and Craven Limited. The company switched to producing roasted and salted hazelnuts in 1948, expanding to peanuts later. These were originally produced for sale in cinemas. In 1952 the company introduced *Hercules Nuts* and in 1953 the *No.1 KP Nuts* peanut brand.

The company became part of United Biscuits (UB) in 1968. The KP Snacks subsidiary produces a range of packet snack brands including Hula Hoops, Skips, McCoy's, Frisps, Brannigan's, Royster's, Space Raiders, Nik Naks, Wheat Crunchies, Discos, and Phileas Fogg. The *snacks* part is based on Teesside and in Rotherham, near the UB distribution warehouse.

The Ashby-de-la-Zouch site won a Best Factory Award in 2004.

UB sold the company to the German company Intersnack in December 2012 for £500 million.
