About

Oatly was founded in 1990 and has become Scandinavia’s leading brand of plant-based, dairy-free products. The company’s patented enzyme technology copies nature’s own process and turns fiber-rich oats into nutritional liquid food that is perfectly designed for humans.

Verlinvest partnered with Oatly’s existing shareholders, founders and management team, investing in November 2016 through a Joint Venture with China Resources. The partnership enabled further investment in the group’s R&D and production facilities and accelerate the growth of Oatly’s unique brand of simple, natural Swedish liquid oat goodness on a global scale.
