KP Snacks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KP Snacks is a British manufacturer of packet nuts and other snacks. The KP stood for Kenyon Produce and the company is based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom.

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, Meanies, Skips, McCoys, Mini Cheddars and Phileas Fogg. The Snacks part is based in Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire, nearby the UB distribution warehouse.
