Republic Biscuit Corporation (d/b/a Rebisco) is a Philippine snack food company which has its main office based in Pasig and its main factory based in Quezon City. It was founded in 1963 by Jacinto Ng.[1]

History

Rebisco was founded in August 15, 1963 as England Biscuit Factory, producing biscuits from a tiny, rented second-hand factory in San Juan, with only US$5,000 in start-up (approximately ₱15,000 to ₱20,000). The company eventually moved out of its San Juan site to a new factory in Novaliches, Quezon City.

In 1972, England Biscuit Factory was renamed Republic Biscuit Corporation and adopted a new image. Through the years, Rebisco put up several companies to dominate other segments of the market: JBC Food Corporation in 1989; Suncrest Foods, Inc. in 1995; Multirich Corporation in 1999; and Pinnacle Foods, Inc. in 2000. In 2003, Rebisco acquired Storck Products, Inc., which previously produced confectionery products under license from August Storck, and later renamed the company as SPI Corporation.
