Chobani, Inc.

Chobani, Inc. is a leading American food company renowned for its high-quality strained Greek yogurt products. Founded in 2005 by Turkish entrepreneur Hamdi Ulukaya, Chobani has significantly influenced the yogurt industry in the United States.

The company offers a diverse range of products, including traditional Greek yogurt, non-dairy plant-based yogurts, oat drinks, and snacks, catering to a wide array of consumer preferences.

Initially, Chobani's Greek yogurt was available in flavors such as plain, vanilla, strawberry, peach, and blueberry. Over time, the company expanded its product line to include yogurt-based condiments, plant-based beverages made from organic oats, and milk and cream derived from the yogurt-making process.

In 2019, Chobani introduced four flavors of iced coffee, nutritional shakes, and probiotic yogurt and drinks, further diversifying its offerings.

In December 2023, Chobani expanded its portfolio by acquiring La Colombe Coffee Roasters for $900 million, marking its entry into the cold coffee market.

Chobani's yogurt has achieved remarkable success in the U.S. market, with its market share rising from less than 1% in 2007 to over 20% in 2021, making it the top-selling Greek yogurt brand in the country.

The company operates the largest yogurt manufacturing facility globally, located in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Beyond its product offerings, Chobani is committed to social responsibility and community engagement. In April 2016, the company announced it was giving 10 percent of its ownership stake to its employees, fostering a sense of ownership and community within the organization.

Additionally, Chobani has been involved in philanthropic endeavors, including supporting food insecurity initiatives and refugee employment programs. CEO Hamdi Ulukaya has emphasized the coexistence of capitalism and humanitarianism, demonstrating that businesses can contribute positively to society while achieving commercial success.
