Pennsylvania leads the U.S. in potato chip production, ahead of Texas, where Frito-Lay is headquartered, and California.

Six regional potato chip companies--Herr's, Utz, Martin's, Bon Ton, Beckel's, and Snyder's of Hanover--are headquartered in southeast Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania also contains about 20 smaller potato chip companies.
