Snyder's of Hanover traces its roots to a bakery formed in Hanover, PA by Harry Warehime in 1909. In 1950, the company was split into two independent companies: Snyder's of Hanover and Snyder of Berlin. The Hanover Canning Company (later called Hanover Brands, and now Hanover Foods) purchased Snyder's of Hanover. Snyder's of Hanover was again spun off as an independent company in 1981. Snyder's of Hanover is no longer associated with Snyder of Berlin.
In December 2007, Snyder's of Hanover acquired Jays Foods of Chicago, Illinois after they declared bankruptcy. Snyder's plans to continue making and distributing Jays' full line of snacks throughout the midwest market.
In 2010, a plan to merge with rival Utz Quality Foods was blocked by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. On July 22, 2010, it was announced that Snyder's of Hanover would be merging with Lance Inc. to create one of the largest snack food companies in the nation. The merged company became Snyder's-Lance.
