Ekko

What Ekko does

Ekko (legal entity UAB EKKO LT) is a Lithuanian organic food manufacturer founded in 2018 that produces cold-pressed oils and downstream rapeseed products at a single factory in Raudondvaris village, Zarasai region. The company's core products are organic cold-pressed rapeseed oil (both unrefined and refined variants), with extensions into organic hemp seed oil, linseed oil, and the Raudondvario conventional sub-brand. By-products of the pressing process are commercialized under a Zero Waste policy as organic rapeseed cake (animal feed, 30–40% crude protein), rapeseed flour (27.5% protein), and rapeseed protein powder (40% protein, positioned for sports nutrition). Production relies on four FL 200 cold-pressing presses with annual capacity exceeding 5,000 tons of seeds and nearly 2,000,000 liters of oil, up to 5,500 liters per day.

The underlying technology is mechanical cold pressing rather than chemical extraction, which preserves Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9 fatty acids and Vitamins E and K, and yields high smoke points (190°C unrefined, 220°C refined). Ekko operates a vertically integrated factory that performs crushing, filling, and packaging, supported by a modern labeling system capable of handling retail bottles (250ml–1L), bulk containers (5L, 10L), and 1t IBCs. The company holds a dense stack of certifications: USDA Organic, European Organic (EkoAgros), FSSC 22000, HACCP, Green Key Hole, FSA, State Food and Veterinary Service, with BRC Global Standard in implementation.

The business model is sales-led B2B with three revenue streams: own-brand EKKO product sales through retail and HORECA channels, private label manufacturing for retailer brands, and wholesale/bulk supply to distributors, food producers, and organic farms. Pricing is quote-based (not publicly disclosed), with MOQs around one pallet for bulk. Over 70% of production is exported to Scandinavia, North America, Asia, and broader Europe, with a multilingual website (LT/EN/RU) and direct sales contacts ([email protected], [email protected]). The company has 11–50 employees, no disclosed revenue, no funding rounds, no parent company, and operates as an independent private limited company.

Regional players

• GrainCorp: Australian-listed agribusiness with oilseed processing (canola) and edible oils operations. Comparable on oilseed crushing/refining mechanics, though primarily serving Asia-Pacific rather than the EU/Baltic market where Ekko operates.
• Elbeoil / Elbe-Milch group specialty oils: German specialty oil and dairy-adjacent ingredient manufacturer serving EU retail private label customers. Comparable to Ekko on EU organic oil private label manufacturing and Baltic-region retail supply dynamics.

Broad incumbents

• Bunge Limited: Global agribusiness and one of the world's largest oilseed processors (soy, rapeseed, sunflower). Overlaps with Ekko in oilseed crushing and edible oil refining, but operates at vastly larger scale across commodity and specialty segments.
• Cargill: One of the largest privately-held agribusinesses globally, with significant oilseed processing and edible oil operations. Comparable to Ekko on the upstream crushing/refining side, though Cargill operates a broad commodity portfolio rather than focusing on organic specialty oils.
• Olam Food Ingredients (ofi): Global food ingredients supplier with specialty oils, cocoa, coffee, and nuts operations. Comparable to Ekko in supplying food manufacturers and retailers with specialty oil ingredients, though ofi has far broader product scope and global reach.
• Avril Group: French agro-industrial group with significant rapeseed/ sunflower processing and edible oil brands (Lesieur, Puget). Directly comparable on the rapeseed oil processing side and EU retail presence, though Avril operates at much larger scale.
• ADM (Archer Daniels Midland): Global food processing and oilseed crushing major with operations across edible oils, specialty ingredients, and animal nutrition. Overlaps with Ekko on oilseed processing and animal feed by-products (oilcake equivalent), but serves a much broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Bioriginal: Canadian specialty oil and nutraceutical ingredient supplier focused on organic and non-GMO oils including flax, hemp, and camelina. Direct peer to Ekko on organic specialty oilseed processing for both retail and bulk B2B customers.
• IOI Loders Croklaan: Specialty oils and fats manufacturer (palm, shea, sunflower, rapeseed) focused on B2B food applications. Highly comparable to Ekko in specialty oil processing for food manufacturers, with stronger downstream applications expertise.
• AAK (AarhusKarlshamn): Swedish-Danish specialty oils and fats manufacturer serving food manufacturers and HORECA globally. Highly comparable to Ekko in specialty oil processing, private label capabilities, and B2B food-ingredient customer base, though at significantly larger scale.
