The workers who create several iconic and fan-favorite snack foods celebrated a major milestone Saturday.

The plant in Henrico County makes leading snack brands, including Oreo, Chips Ahoy!, Nilla Wafers, Ritz and Wheat Thins.

Senior Plant Director Katie Ingersoll called the milestone “amazing.”

“This is a big celebration because we have 50 years of operations,” Ingersoll said. “We’ve been right here on Laburnum Avenue since 1973. We’re here to celebrate the next chapter and the next 50 years together.”
