Tayto Group has kicked off a year of celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of its founding in Tandragee, Co Armagh.
Founded by Thomas Hutchinson in 1956, the business remains family‑run and is now the UK’s largest family‑owned crisp and snack manufacturer, producing over five million bags a day across five sites. From its home at Tayto Castle in the rolling hills of Co Armagh, Northern Ireland’s number one crisp brand has grown into a £275m operation with a portfolio including Golden Wonder, Mr Porky and Real Hand Cooked Crisps.
Anniversary activity begins this month with special platinum packaging for Tayto’s Cheese & Onion packets, featuring a TAY7O logo. The company is also launching heart‑shaped snacks under the ‘I Heart Tayto’ banner, available in Prawn Cocktail and Pickled Onion flavours.
