Olvi

Olvi plc (, omx: HEX24317 OLVAS) is a Finnish brewery and soft drinks company founded in 1878 by the brewer Williams Gideon Åberg and his wife Onni. It currently holds 18.7% of Finland's market share in beverages,[3] making it the third-largest producer of beer, cider and soft drinks in Finland and the largest Finnish-owned business in its sector. Among its subsidiaries, A. Le Coq is the second largest beverage company in Estonia and Volfas Engelman is the third largest beverage company in Lithuania.[4] Olvi also has businesses in Latvia (Cēsu Alus) and Belarus (Lidskаe Pivа). In May 2021, Olvi bought a controlling stake in Denmark's fourth largest brewery A/S Bryggeriet Vestfyen. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine on March 5, 2022, Olvi announced that it was ceasing exports to Russia and leaving Belarus.[5]

In December 2025, it was announced that Olvi would acquire a majority share in the Brewery International Group, strengthening its presence in Sweden and Norway. The transaction expands Olvi's operations into beverage importing and distribution across grocery retail, on-trade, and state-controlled monopoly markets in the two countries.[6]
