- Company Description:
- If you ask any South African about George’s Savoury Snacks, chances are they’ll smile and reminisce about a brand that has become a part of everyday life. From a small, passionate beginning in 1987, George’s Savoury Snacks has grown into one of the most cherished names in local snacking. The journey began with George, an enterprising individual of Greek descent, who had a simple but powerful idea: to create the best handmade kettle-fried crisps using locally sourced ingredients. Operating out of a modest factory on Heidelberg Road in Johannesburg, George’s daily routine was one of dedication—selecting fresh potatoes, hand-slicing, frying, and seasoning them to perfection. He would then load his vehicle and personally deliver his crisps to customers around Johannesburg, quickly building a loyal following who appreciated the care and quality in every batch. As demand for his crisps grew, so did George’s reputation. In 2008, Atiyyah Distributors saw the potential to help the brand grow further, acquiring the company and ensuring that the handmade approach remained at the heart of production. With new commercial kitchens and expanded production, George’s famous crisps continued to be made with the same love and attention to detail as when George first started. In 2023, George’s Savoury Snacks made an exciting move by partnering with a leading Asian manufacturer to launch George’s Stack Snacks—an innovative, high-quality, stackable chip that brings a new level of flavour and convenience to our range. This move perfectly complements our original handmade crisps, offering consumers even more ways to enjoy the George’s Savoury Snacks experience. Looking ahead, in 2025, George’s Savoury Snacks welcomed TRG Retail Consultants & Associates—experts with decades of combined experience in the Southern African retail landscape. With their strategic guidance, George’s Savoury Snacks is set to expand, innovate, and reach new heights in the South African snack industry. From its humble origins to its bright future, George’s Savoury Snacks remains committed to the values of quality, tradition, and an unwavering passion for great taste. Whether you’re enjoying our signature handmade crisps or the new stackable snacks, every bite carries the legacy of a truly South African brand. With our growing product range and exciting plans ahead, George’s Savoury Snacks is ready to redefine the local snack scene and continue to bring joy to snack lovers across the country.
