Pro stress-test →

Olvi plc is a Finnish brewery and soft drinks company founded in 1878. It holds 18.7% of Finland's market share in beverages, making it the third-largest producer of beer, cider and soft drinks in Finland and the largest Finnish-owned business in its sector.

Strategic Profile

Le Coq is the second largest beverage company in Estonia and Volfas Engelman is the third largest beverage company in Lithuania, with businesses also in Latvia and Belarus. The company maintains strong brand equity with flagship products like Olvi III and has successfully pioneered beverage packaging innovations in Nordic markets.
