Corporate history
Snyder's of Hanover traces its roots to two different companies. In 1909, Harry V. Warehime founded the Hanover Pretzel Company, which later became Hanover Foods Corporation, and in 1923, Helen and William Snyder founded a separate pretzel bakery and distributor. The companies came together in the early 1960s, when Hanover purchased Snyder's and rechristened the division Snyder's of Hanover. After entering multiple other snack markets during the 1960s and 1970s, Snyder's eventually returned to its original focus of pretzels and potato chips. In 1981, Hanover spun off Snyder's, which became an independent company.[4]
In December 2007, Snyder's of Hanover acquired Jays Foods of Chicago, Illinois after they declared bankruptcy. Snyder's plans to continue making and distributing Jay's full line of snacks throughout the midwest market. [5]
Products
Snyder's Of Hanover offers a broad array of pretzels and some other snack food products. The company claims that all pretzel recipes descend from Snyder's original Hanover Olde Tyme Pretzel recipe. Representative pretzel products include
minis, sourdough hards, premium stick pretzels, flavored pretzel pieces, chocolate coated, and organic pretzel sticks. Snyder's has a natural foods line known as EatSmart, which includes veggie crisps, soy crisps, cheddars, and dips. It also offers peanut butter and cheddar cheese-filled pretzel sandwiches. Snyders recently introduced a multi-grain line consisting of tortillas, cheese snacks, and sunflower chips.
