[edit] Corporate History
Snyder's can trace its roots back to two different companies specializing in pretzels. The first was founded in 1909 by Harry V. Warehime as the Hanover Pretzel Company. The other was founded by Helen and William Snyder in 1923 as pretzel bakery. In 1963, Hanover purchased Snyder's distribution company. After entering multiple other snack markets during the 1960s and 1970s, the company eventually settled on focusing on pretzels and potato chips. In 1981, Snyder's became an independent company of what is now the Hanover Foods Corporation.
