Oatly Oat Drink Barista Edition (375g)

Oatly is a Swedish food company that specializes in dairy alternatives made from oats. Founded in the 1990s in Lund, Sweden, by brothers Rickard and Björn Öste, it was born from research conducted at Lund University focused on lactose intolerance and sustainable food systems. The 'Barista Edition' is one of their flagship products, specifically formulated to foam like dairy milk.

Today, Oatly is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ, though it maintains its headquarters in Malmö, Sweden. While the brand originated and is primarily identified with Sweden, its manufacturing has expanded globally to include facilities in various countries like the United States, China, and across Europe to meet international demand efficiently.

The ownership structure involves several major stakeholders, including the original founders and Blackstone Group, as well as the Belgian investment group Verlinvest and the China Resources brand. Despite its global footpint and diverse investment group, it remains rooted in its Swedish origins and sustainability mission.
