OMA / Otto Mønsted

Otto Mønsted and the margarine factory

The year 1883 was the year when the Danish industrialist and inventor, Otto Mønsted, broke through with the margarine and thus the margarine factory named Aarhus Butterine Company. Not only was Otto Mønsted so dedicated that he spent all of his own wealth, he even got a loan from his father-in-law. All this he did to break through with his margarine project. And he succeeded to ug. Otto Mønsted later became Denmark's "margarine king" and in 1888 he opened his first factory in Godley, near Manchester, England. Some years later, in 1894, he even built a permanent margarine work in Southall, London. Mønsted's margarine company was renamed Otto Mønsted Aarhus in 1909 - most often abbreviated to OMA - and the OMA margarine brand became more and more famous in Denmark over time.
