Heritage & History
William and Salie Utz started making potato chips in their Hanover, Pennsylvania home in 1921, selling their chips for five cents a bag from the back of a truck to stores in the surrounding area. The business grew quickly enough that by 1930, the first section of the Utz plant was built on McAlister Street — just behind the family home where it all started.
Hanover became known as the 'Snack Capital of the World' partly because of Utz, and the company has grown into the largest private-label snack manufacturer in the country while maintaining its Pennsylvania roots and domestic manufacturing focus. The Utz family maintained controlling ownership through multiple generations before the company went public in 2020, but the Hanover headquarters and manufacturing commitment remain central to the brand's identity.
Made in Hanover, Pennsylvania
Utz Original Potato Chips are made with just three ingredients: fresh potatoes, oil, and salt — all sourced from American suppliers. The chips are cooked in small batches using the kettle-chip method that creates the distinctive crunch Utz fans recognize, then seasoned and packaged at the Hanover facility. The company has maintained fresh potato sourcing from regional farms, preserving the connection to the Pennsylvania agricultural community that supported the original Utz business.
Beyond classic potato chips, Utz produces a range of pretzels, cheese curls, popcorn, pork rinds, and specialty snacks, most produced at American facilities. The Utz variety packs have become a staple at American events and offices, providing a range of snack options in a single convenient package. For buyers who want snacks made from American ingredients at American facilities, Utz represents a genuine Pennsylvania snack heritage spanning over a century.
