History

The Jacob's brand has a long and illustrious history in the biscuit industry. The company was founded by William Beale Jacob and his brother Robert in 1851. The brothers opened a small bakery in Bridge Street, Waterford, and began to produce a variety of biscuits. In 1881, the company moved to Bishop Street in Dublin, where it remained until 1975.
