Chipita was established in Greece in 1973 as a company producing and marketing savoury snacks. In 1991 our flagship product, 7DAYS croissant was introduced to the market, followed shortly by the 7DAYS mini croissants. At about the same time, Chipita started to establish itself as the international company it remains today, either by setting up its own subsidiaries or by entering into strategic partnerships either with major international or with strong local companies. Thus, Chipita has been operating outside Greece since 1996 by setting up manufacturing plants in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Russia and Saudi Arabia and more recently Turkey, Malaysia, Mexico and India. During the same period, Chipita also set up commercial offices in 11 countries - Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia, Croatia, the Baltics, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus and the UK. Chipita is currently present internationally in 3 major product groups- croissants and similar dough products, bread based baked snacks (Bake Rolls) and various products.
