Olvi Group, the Finnish multi-beverage manufacturer, has agreed to acquire a 51% majority stake in Brewery International, a leading importer of premium drinks in Norway and Sweden.
The transaction, which includes an option to acquire the remaining shares at a later date, is expected to close in January 2026. Brewery International operates as a specialist importer and distributor across grocery retail, the on-trade (HoReCa) sector, and state-controlled monopoly markets. Its portfolio includes major global beer brands such as San Miguel, as well as ciders, soft drinks, and energy drinks. The deal also encompasses the Mission Wine & Spirits group, which specialises in premium wines and spirits.
Brewery International, founded in 1992 and based in Hagan, Norway, employs 29 people. In 2024, the business reported revenues of €22 million ($23.9 million).
Olvi Group CEO Patrik Lundell commented: “This is yet another step in advancing our strategic vision to become the most wanted multi-local beverage house. The acquisition enhances our portfolio with leading global brands and strengthens the distribution of Olvi Group’s products in Norway and Sweden, creating the foundation for growth through stronger market access.”
The move follows a period of rapid inorganic growth for Olvi Group, which recently acquired Estonian mineral water producer Varska Originaal and Latvian brewer Valmiermuizas Alus.
