AAK specializes in plant-based oils and fats that make everyday products better tasting, healthier, and more sustainable.
Specialty oils and fats that elevate products people love to consume
We enhance products' sensory experiences – by giving the silkier mouthfeel in premium chocolate, the juicier texture in a plant-based burger, and the puffier appearance in a lower-fat pastry.
While we enhance the sensory experience for consumers, we also support our customers behind the scenes. We help optimize production by substituting existing ingredients with plant-based equivalents that improve efficiency. With our value-adding solutions, we enable our customers to be successful in a better way — both in product performance and process optimization.

Sustainability from plant to brand
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do—from the sourced plant to the customer brand. Plant-based oils and fats play a vital role in creating more sustainable food systems by replacing animal-based fats and driving fossil-free innovation through renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable ingredients for candles, personal care products, and more.
Together with our customers, AAK is driving this transformation, tackling global challenges with ambitious sustainability targets.
