Pom-Bear is introduced to the UK market for the first time. Initially imported from Germany by then brand owner, Wolf Bergstrasse, in 1992 the UK success of Pom-Bear leads to a new factory being built in Corby to manufacture the product.

A European merger brings together snack firms Wolf Bergstrasse and Convent to create Intersnack.

Union Snack founded in Tanfield, County Durham - the first company to introduce US-style traditional baked pretzels to the British market, using authentic USA techniques and equipment to launch the Penn State brand.

In January, Union Snack is purchased by German-based Intersnack. By now the Tanfield operation has achieved a turnover of £9M and employs 168 people.

Two new names join the Intersnack family in the UK - 80-year old family nut firm, Percy Dalton and Imperial Snacks, a specialist in spicy Asian snacks such as Bombay Mix.

The start of an exciting new stage for Intersnack with a new vision for growth and development. Richard Robinson joins Intersnack as managing director.

New flavours for Pom-Bear then Penn State is relaunched to become the ‘home of Classic American Snacks.’  During the year, a number of talented new people join Intersnack.
