Rebisco

Rebisco, or the Republic Biscuit Corporation, is a Filipino multinational snack food company that was founded by Jacinto Ng on August 15, 1963. The company started as the England Biscuit Factory, producing biscuits from a tiny, rented second-hand bakery located in San Juan, Metro Manila. The initial capital was only US $5,000, which is approximately ₱15,000 to ₱20,000. The company's first products were Krema (cream-filled crackers) and So Datine (plain crackers).

In 1972, the England Biscuit Factory was renamed to Republic Biscuit Corporation (Rebisco) and adopted a new image. In 1983, Krema was relaunched as Rebisco Cream Sandwich, which became the flagship product of the company. Throughout the years, Rebisco expanded its market by setting up several companies including JBC Food Corporation in 1989, Suncrest Foods in 1995, Multirich Foods Corporation in 1999, and Pinnacle Foods in 2000.

In 2003, Rebisco acquired Storck Products, which previously produced confectionery products under license from August Storck, and renamed the division as SPI Corporation. In 2006, Rebisco entered the chocolate segment with the introduction of its own chocolate bar brand, Choco Mucho.

In 2012, Rebisco started operating in the global market with the launch of Rebisco Vietnam Ltd., offering Rebisco Extreme biscuits in chocolate and mocha flavors as their first product. The international factory was opened in 2015, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, marking the first Rebisco branch outside the Philippines.

In 2015, Rebisco ventured into the flour mill and oil business by establishing Agripacific Corporation, and entered the ice cream segment with the acquisition of Creamline Dairy Corporation, which was renamed as SFI Multimix.

In 2018, in celebration of its 55th anniversary, the company opened its first community retail store, Snacks To-Go. In 2022, ahead of its 60th anniversary, the company entered the beverage market as the official Philippine importer of Thai beverage company Ichitan.

Today, Rebisco is headquartered in Ortigas Center, Pasig, Metro Manila, and operates in 48 countries around the world.
