About ekaterra
ekaterra is the biggest Tea Company in world today, with outstanding, purpose
driven brands such as Lipton, PG tips and Pukka. ekaterra was created as a
standalone "corporate startup" in ‎2021 when Unilever decided to separate the
Tea business so that it could achieve its highest potential. Following that
ekaterra is now owned by a private equity firm CVC and has come into its own
as an independent legal entity across the world.
ekaterra's Tea brands, geographies and Tea estates generate revenues in excess
of €‎2 billion - the company is growing and profitable with proven potential
both pre- and post-COVID-‎19. As a standalone entity, ekaterra remains number
one in the world and is even better positioned to lead the industry and take
full advantage of the opportunities in the category, with more focus and
entrepreneurship driving greater growth and value.
ekaterra's Mission is to Grow a World of Wellbeing... growth for everyone is
at the core of our business. We want to grow a better world of wellbeing
through the regenerative power of plants, for our consumers, farming
communities, employees and shareholders. We are also environmentally conscious
and are committed to giving back to the planet. Read more on our website:
