Olvi Brewery Alcohol and Soft Drinks

Olvi is a prominent Finnish brewery and beverage company with a rich heritage dating back to 1878. Founded by apothecary Master L.W. Åberg and his wife, the company has grown from a local brewery in Iisalmi into a major international player in the Baltic and Nordic beverage markets.

Today, Olvi PLC operates as an independent parent company with significant production facilities in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Belarus. It produces a wide range of beverages including beers, ciders, long drinks, mineral waters, juices, and soft drinks. While it remains deeply rooted in Finnish tradition, its strategic acquisitions of regional brands like A. Le Coq and Cesu Alus have established it as a powerhouse across Northern Europe.

The company remains publicly listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki and is notably controlled by the Olvi Foundation, which ensures the company's independence and supports local culture and education. This unique ownership structure distinguishes it from many global beverage giants, maintaining a strong focus on regional craftsmanship and sustainable production.
