OKQ8 is one of Scandinavia's largest fuel companies, established through a significant partnership between Swedish and Danish interests. The brand represents a merger of the Swedish 'OK' (Oljekonsumenterna) and the Kuwaiti-owned 'Q8' (Kuwait Petroleum International). Today, it operates as a joint venture, providing not only fuel but also a wide array of automotive services, lubricants, and electric vehicle charging solutions across Northern Europe.

The brand's origin is rooted in the cooperative movement in Sweden through OK, while the Q8 brand brought international petroleum expertise from Kuwait. Manufacturing of their private-label products, such as lubricants and screen wash, typically occurs within regional facilities in Sweden and Denmark to serve the local Baltic and Scandinavian markets. Ownership remains a 50/50 split, ensuring a balance between local cooperative values and global energy resources.
