Stork Scou

Scou is a well-known brand of margarine and vegetable spreads, historically recognized for its use in baking and as a dairy-free alternative to butter. Originally developed within the portfolio of consumer goods giant Unilever, the brand has been a staple in European markets for decades, specifically catering to home cooks who prioritize texture and consistency in their recipes.

In recent years, the brand's ownership shifted as part of a major corporate restructuring. In 2018, Unilever sold its global spreads business to KKR, lead to the formation of Upfield. Today, Scou is manufactured and distributed by Upfield, which operates a vast network of production facilities across Europe and other regions to supply local markets while maintaining the original brand heritage.

As of 2026, the brand remains under the management of Upfield, the world's largest plant-based consumer goods company. Headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Upfield continues to innovate the Scou product line to meet modern dietary preferences, including plant-based and sustainable sourcing initiatives.
