Set deep in the heart of Ulster’s countryside in Co. Armagh is Tayto Castle, where Tayto have been making some of the world’s best loved crisps and snacks since 1956.

We are a multiple award-winning, family-owned brand who pride ourselves on using quality local ingredients and materials to produce great-tasting crisps and snacks for everyone to enjoy. Its ‘Taste of Home’ campaign marking NI Year of Food & Drink, during which the iconic brand celebrated its 60th anniversary, was named Best Marketing Campaign at the Ulster Grocer Awards.

An enduring feature of Tayto has been Mr. Tayto, the brand’s lovable mascot – a well-known and much-loved face which is recognised across Northern Ireland and beyond.

Tayto is a leading player in the Northern Ireland food sector and a major employer, with over 300 employees working at the Tayto Castle in Tandragee.

Tayto has had a zero waste to landfill policy in place for many years and it continues to invest heavily to improve its sustainability levels. For example, recently implementing new packaging which is suitable for recycling, in partnership with Terracycle.

Tayto supports charities in the local community, including Marie Curie and the local soap box derby. Tayto will soon be launching a new approach to how it manages its charitable relationships to create a wider and more positive impact.

Tayto works with all levels of schools in Northern Ireland to deliver tours of Tayto castle which outline career options in the food manufacturing industry, encourage interest in the sector and explain production techniques.

People have been enjoying popcorn for thousands of years.
