Our combined portfolio offers the flexibility to expand assortments, drive seasonal excitement, and deliver trend-forward innovation that keeps consumers coming back for more.

What we Develop:

At CK Snacks and Axium Foods, innovation begins with a single idea — transformed through our expertise into snacks people love. Our portfolio includes extruded snacks such as puffs, curls, balls, stars, and twists; tortilla chips made from corn, flour, or multigrain; sweet and savory popcorn and puffcorn; corn chips; and sorghum-based specialty grains. With capabilities across Conventional, Organic, Non-GMO, and Gluten-Free platforms, we deliver flexibility and consistency across every market segment.

Our R&D and commercialization team transforms ideas into shelf-ready products. From flavor creation and formulation testing to sensory benchmarking, compliance documentation, and commercial scale-up, we turn concepts into high-performing products. Each year, more than 50 new product concepts flow through our innovation pipeline — built on data, trends, and consumer insight.

We don’t just manufacture snacks — we build partnerships. Through efficient trial-to-launch cycles, custom formulations, and SQF-certified, allergen-controlled processes, we ensure every launch meets the highest standards of quality and speed.

For over four decades, our commitment has remained the same: to create snacks that perform, products that connect, and partnerships that last.

We look forward to innovating together and building the future of snacking with you.
