About
Oatly Group AB is a pioneering Swedish food company known for producing high-quality alternatives to dairy products from oats, notably oat milk. Established in the early 1990s, Oatly was founded by food scientist Rickard Öste and his brother Björn Öste, following research from Lund University. The company has grown significantly over the years, with headquarters in Malmö, Sweden, and additional production facilities in Landskrona. As of 2022, Oatly's innovative products are available in over 20 countries, including key markets like Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Oatly’s product line includes a diverse range of offerings such as oat drinks, ice cream, yogurt substitutes, and cooking creams. All products are vegan, non-GMO, and certified kosher. The company is on a mission to encourage sustainable eating and living by providing plant-based alternatives that minimize the environmental impact compared to traditional dairy production methods. Oatly's commitment to sustainability goes beyond its products, as the company actively engages in discussions around food systems, climate change, and children's health.
