Onken Yogurt

Onken is a well-established dairy brand with a history rooted in German innovation. Founded by Hermann Onken in 1940, the brand gained international acclaim for its large-pot yogurt formats and high-quality ingredients, positioning itself as a leader in the fruited and natural yogurt categories across Europe.

Over the decades, the brand's ownership has transitioned through major dairy conglomerates. It was acquired by the German dairy giant Dr. Oetker in 2004, which helped expand its reach further into the UK and other European markets. In 2011, the brand changed hands again when it was acquired by the Swiss dairy group Emmi. Today, Onken continues to operate under Emmi's umbrella, emphasizing products with no artificial additives and a commitment to natural dairy goodness.

While the brand originated in Germany and much of its production remains there to serve the European market, its global supply chain involves various regional distributors. As part of the Swiss-based Emmi Group, the brand benefits from extensive research and development resources, maintaining its reputation for creamy textures and diverse flavors like cherry, mango, and natural Greek-style varieties.
