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.cite web |url=http://snydersofhanover.com/en/history/company.php |title=The history of Snyder's |accessdate=2007-03-17 |year=2006 |publisher=Snyder's of Hanover cite web | url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Hanover-Foods-Corporation-Company-History.html | title=History of Hanover Foods. |accessdate=2007-07-21]
