AAK has announced a collaboration with Invita through an exclusive distribution of AAK’s plant-based food solutions for Australia and New Zealand.
Australia and New Zealand are two of the fastest-growing markets in the world when it comes to plant-based foods, supported by an advanced food technology as well as the countries’ eating clean and green lifestyle.

Drawing on a diverse range of raw material sources, AAK works together with its customers to develop great-tasting plant-based food products made with love for people, plants and the planet, and the company shares Invita’s fundamental core mission to be in a long-term sustainable business.
“We are excited about the partnership with AAK as this aligns with our initiatives in creating value-added and healthier options in plant-based foods with a sustainable supply chain for our customers", said Yen Bird, Sales and Business Development Director, Invita Australia.
