History

Rebisco was founded in 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, the Rebisco put up several companies to dominate other segments of the market: JBC Food Corporation in 1989; Suncrest Foods Incorporated in 1995; Multirich Corporation in 1999; and Pinnacle Foods Incorporated in 2000. In 2003, Rebisco acquired Storck Products, Incorporated and renamed as SPI Corporation.
