Orkla ASA is a Norway-based industrial group focused on branded consumer goods. Its portfolio spans food and snacks, bakery and food ingredients, personal and home care, and health and beauty, alongside an equity interest in Jotun, a global paints and coatings company. Orkla’s businesses serve retail, out-of-home, and selected industrial customers.
For chemicals-adjacent markets, Orkla companies develop and manufacture household and personal care formulations (e.g., cleaning, hygiene, and beauty products) and supply functional ingredients to the food and bakery sectors. Through its stake in Jotun, Orkla is also exposed to decorative, protective, and marine coatings.
Headquartered in Oslo and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (ticker: ORK), Orkla operates across the Nordics, Baltics, Central Europe, and India. The group has evolved from historical activities in mining and materials to a focus on consumer brands, and it demerged specialty cellulose and biochemicals producer Borregaard in 2012.
