Oatly iKaffe Barista Edition

Oatly iKaffe Barista Edition is a flagship product of Oatly Group AB, a company that pioneered the oat milk category. Founded in the 1990s by brothers Rickard and Björn Öste based on research from Lund University, the brand has its roots in Malmö, Sweden. The product shown, 'iKaffe' (marketed as Barista Edition internationally), is specifically formulated to foam and blend perfectly with coffee, making it a staple in both professional cafes and home kitchens.

While Oatly has expanded its manufacturing footprint globally with facilities in the United States, China, and the United Kingdom to meet local demand, the majority of the supply for the Nordic and European markets continues to be produced at its primary facility in Landskrona, Sweden. In early 2026, the company announced significant multi-year investments to further expand this Swedish site to increase capacity and support sustainable sourcing from local Swedish farmers.

Ownership of the brand has evolved from a private family-run business to a major publicly traded entity on the Nasdaq (OTLY). As of 2026, the ultimate ownership is a diverse mix of institutional investors and strategic partners, with Nativus Company Limited (a subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned conglomerate China Resources) and European investment firm Verlinvest maintaining significant stakes alongside public shareholders.
