Ovaltine beverage powder

Ovaltine, originally known as Ovomaltine, is a Swiss legacy brand created in 1904 by Dr. Albert Wander. Known for its distinct malted barley and cocoa flavor profile, the product was initially developed to provide essential nutrition and energy. Manufacturing occurs in several global hubs, including major facilities in Switzerland, Thailand, and China, to serve diverse international markets.

Today, the ownership of the Ovaltine brand is split based on geography. In the United States and Canada, the brand is owned and distributed by Nestlé. However, across the rest of the world, including Europe, Asia, and Africa, the brand is owned by Associated British Foods (ABF). This dual-ownership structure allows the brand to maintain a strong presence in both the North American market and global emerging economies.
