Our presence
Orkla's portfolio of brands and consumer-oriented companies reaches consumers in over 100 countries across the world.
While we are a truly global company, our investment in the Nordic countries is where our expertise runs deepest and where 60% percent of our revenue are generated. By investing in our home markets, we continue to deliver quality and value both locally and worldwide.
Over time, it is Orkla’s ambition to develop its international footprint even further. The goal is increased growth and to capitalise on strategic opportunities. Orkla builds on its experience of markets and categories that it knows well. When attractive opportunities arise, Orkla considers investments outside the group’s core areas, provided that they are compatible with Orkla’s unique areas of expertise and investment strategy.
