Arnott's Group is an Australian producer of biscuits and snack food. Founded in 1865 by William Arnott, the first factory was Arnott's Steam Biscuit Factory in Newcastle, New South Wales. The company undertook several mergers and acquisitions in the 1950s and 1960s, Arnott's was acquired by the Campbell Soup Company in 1997, before being sold to American global private investment company Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) in 2019, of which it is now a subsidiary. They are the largest producer of biscuits in Australia, and are particularly known for sweet varieties such as Tim Tams, Iced VoVos, and Tiny Teddies, and savoury crackers such as Jatz, Shapes and SAOs.
