United Biscuits is one of the world’s pre-eminent branded snacks businesses, part of Yildiz Holding. It produces some recognised sweet and savoury snacks, with products ranging from biscuits and crackers to cakes and savoury snacks.

United Biscuits was founded in 1948 following the merger of two Scottish family businesses, McVitie & Price and MacFarlane Lang. In 1960, United Biscuits added to its portfolio with the acquisition of Crawford’s Biscuits and MacDonald’s Biscuits. In 2000, UB was bought by Finalrealm, a consortium of investors, and reverted to private limited company status.

In November 2014, private equity funds managed by Blackstone and PAI Partners agreed the sale of United Biscuits to Turkey’s Yildiz Holding, which owns Ulker Biskuvi, for a reported £2 billion.
