History
Snyder's of Hanover traces its roots to a bakery formed in Hanover, Pennsylvania, by Harry Warehime in 1909. In 1920 Eda and Edward Snyder started selling their homemade fried potato chips at various businesses.[3] In 1950, the company was split into two independent companies: Snyder's of Hanover and Snyder of Berlin. The Hanover Canning Company (later called Hanover Brands, now Hanover Foods) purchased Snyder's of Hanover in 1961. Snyder's of Hanover was again spun off as an independent company in 1981. Snyder's of Hanover is no longer associated with Snyder of Berlin, something that is indicated on packages of Snyder's of Hanover.[4]
In December 2007, Snyder's of Hanover acquired bankrupt Jays Foods
