Republic Biscuit Corporation (Rebisco) is a Philippine manufacturer of biscuits and snacks based in Novaliches, Quezon City, Philippines. It was established in 1963, founded by Jacinto Ng. Generations of Filipinos have been enjoying Rebisco’s basic portfolio of biscuits and now its wide range of snack foods.
Rebisco started out in 1963 as England Biscuit Factory producing biscuits from a tiny rented second-hand factory in San Juan and with only a USD 5,000 in start-up (approximately P15,000 to P20,000). The company eventually moved out of the San Juan factory and moved 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, Pinnacle Foods Incorporated in 2000. In 2003, it acquired the Storck Products Incorporated and renamed it as SPI Corporation.
