Nokkos Company, which manufactures kombucha from nettle, has acquired Arctic Warriors, a Lapland-based company that collects and processes natural raw materials. Nokkos Company's production is growing strongly, and through the acquisition, the company ensures the supply of raw materials, e.g. its successful product nettle combucha. The opportunity to acquire the acquisition opened up with the financing received by Nokkos Company for its growth.
”Arctic Warriors is our familiar partner and it’s great to have them under one roof. Their intergenerational knowledge and experience of herbs as well as their unique industry expertise bring a truly amazing addition to our team, says Nokkos Company's co-founder, brewing master Lari Laurikkala.
Arctic Warriors, which operates in Narka near Rovaniemi, has collectors and contract farmers all over Lapland. The acquisition will enable Lapland's smallholder farmers and wild herb collectors to have even more work and livelihoods.
”Nettle Company is the best possible growth platform for Arctic Warriors. As part of Nokkos Company, we will be able to take full advantage of world-class raw materials with new products and distribution channels, says Arctic Warriors Product Manager Katja Misikangas.
Kombucha is a fermented, mostly tea-based, but in the case of Nettle Company, nettle-based soft drink. Nettle Company's kombucha drink uses natural and pure ingredients, such as nettle, spring water, berries and wild herbs grown in Lapland. Nettle combucha is the only kombucha made entirely from domestic herbs on the market.
Nokkos Company's unique kombucha responds to the growing consumer demand for low-sugar beverages. Kombucha's consumption in Europe is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 25% in 202,126..
