FITCHBURG, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Wachusett Potato Chip company was founded in 1939 by brothers Theofil and Steven Krysiak. Originally located in Clinton, Massachusetts, the brand takes its name from nearby Mount Wachusett. In 1947, the company relocated to its current location, a former prison turned potato chip factory and distribution center, in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
The Wachusett brand and its Fitchburg facilities were purchased by Utz Brands, Inc. in 2011. Since then, the Fitchburg Team has added a second shift including 40 new positions, increased its product pounds produced by +50% and made significant investment in a new potato stick line and other high efficiency equipment. These investments in people and equipment support Wachusett and other Utz snack food brands, with members of the original Krysiak family continuing to actively work in the business.
Today, the Wachusett brand offers a range of fan-favorite potato chip flavors including BBQ, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream & Onion among others and is available in convenient 1 to 10 ounce sizes.
“We take great pride to continue the Wachusett business my grandfather and his family created, now over 80 years ago. We are honored to follow in the footsteps of the family tradition and legacy,” said Greg Krysiak, Plant Manager Fitchburg, Utz Brands, Inc., “And, in celebrating our ten year anniversary with Utz, we are extremely proud of our Fitchburg Team for all they’ve accomplished and who work hard each day to make high quality and great tasting snacks!”
Wachusett® Potato Chips can be found in leading retailers across New England.
