Chobani is a renowned food company with a mission to provide high-quality and nutritious food to a wide audience while uplifting communities and promoting a healthier world. Founded in 2005 by immigrant Hamdi Ulukaya, the organization has been dedicated to being purpose-driven, people-first, and focused on food and wellness since its inception. The company is best known for its yogurt products, which are crafted using natural ingredients and without artificial preservatives, securing Chobani as America’s No.1 yogurt brand. Beyond yogurt, the company has expanded its product portfolio to include oat milk, creamers, and, following the acquisition of La Colombe in 2023, premium coffee beverages such as cold-pressed espresso and lattes on tap at cafes nationwide. In 2025, Chobani further broadened its reach by acquiring Daily Harvest, a modern, health-focused meal brand offering convenient ready-to-make options. Chobani’s commitment transcends food manufacturing; it uses food as a force for good, putting humanity first in its business practices and philanthropic initiatives. With manufacturing facilities located in New York, Idaho, Michigan, and Australia, its products are widely distributed across North America and select international markets.
