Nabisco

Nabisco, short for National Biscuit Company, is an American multinational snack company known for its cookies and crackers. The name refers to a historic corporation formed by the consolidation of several American biscuit makers. Nabisco emerged in 1898 from the merger of the New York Biscuit Company and the American Biscuit Company, creating one of the earliest large-scale producers of packaged snack foods in the United States. Over the years it developed and acquired a portfolio of iconic brands that became staples in households and retailers worldwide.

The Nabisco brand portfolio includes well-known products such as Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers, Chips Ahoy! cookies, Wheat Thins, Nutter Butter, and Nilla Wafers, among others. These products have been distributed globally and adapted to various regional tastes. In 2012, Nabisco became part of Mondelez International, the global snacks company formed when Kraft Foods split into separate entities. Mondelez oversees Nabisco’s marketing, manufacturing, and distribution operations across many markets. The Nabisco legacy has played a significant role in the evolution of the packaged snack industry, shaping product development, branding, and mass-market distribution for cookies and crackers.
