OLMA, a.s.

What OLMA, a.s. does

OLMA, a.s. is a Czech dairy manufacturer headquartered in Olomouc, founded with its foundation stone laid in 1967 and producing continuously since 1968. The company operates two production sites — the original Olomouc facility (with milk reception, pasteurization, homogenization, drying, and noble-mold cheese aging lines) and a secondary Zábřeh na Moravě PET-bottling facility (operational since 2006 on a Krones filling line) — and processes on the order of hundreds of thousands of liters of milk per day. OLMA sells a comprehensive dairy portfolio spanning fresh and UHT milk (including BIO and High Protein variants), yogurts (with Florian as the flagship Czech-market leader and Klasik as the heritage white yogurt), fermented drinks, quark and desserts (including the in-house Míša dessert brand and Carte d'Or under license from Unilever), aged cheeses (Olmín with noble mold, Niva blue cheese), butter, cream, and spreads (Zlatá Haná). Distinctive technical capabilities include first-mover Czech production lines for Tetra Pak UHT milk (1988), PET-bottled fresh milk (2000), and pudding manufacturing equipment (1996), plus the 2015 introduction of proprietary noble-mold cheese aging.

The company's revenue model is CPG wholesale through major Czech grocery retailers — Albert, Billa, Globus, Kaufland, Lidl, Penny, Makro, and regional chains — augmented by online grocery platforms (Košík, Rohlík), a single company-owned store, and a licensing arrangement that makes OLMA the sole Czech manufacturer of Carte d'Or chilled desserts. OLMA serves four consumer segments: general households (primary), premium/gourmet consumers, health-conscious and active consumers, and children and families. The latter is reached through the Olmíci sub-brand with an AR-enabled mobile app (Olmíci 2, with 120,000+ players), recurring collectible sticker campaigns (Čtyřlístek, Paw Patrol licensing), and the OLMA Rodina loyalty program (150,000+ members). OLMA is wholly owned by AGROFERT, a.s., the Czech agro-food conglomerate that became majority owner at end of 2008 and is today the sole shareholder, providing vertical integration through group-level agricultural supply chains and access to modernization capital. General Director Ing Martin Krysti\u00e1n oversees operations, and the company holds IFS, ISO 14001, SMETA, HACCP, GDPR, and BIO certifications.
