The thought of DRYK started in the home of Christian Christensen and Marina Hansen's home in Stevns. The mission is to produce high-quality plant drinks, which simultaneously get the consumer as close to nature as possible. The goal for the plants drinks to replace milk, in order to reduce animal production and thereby promote climate and biodiversity.
After thorough research and elbow grease, DRYK decides to cooperate with a supplier in Sweden. Trensum meets the high demands for raw materials, production and quality that DRYK values.
DRYK gets established January 2020. That same year in February, DRYK is open for business. The majority of DRYK products, has been there since the beginning; Oat Drink, Oat Barista, Pea Drink, Pea Barista and Oat Cacao.
The very first pallets with DRYK plant drinks is delivered to the company's first adress in Stevns. Bornholms Ismejeri og Rødvig Kro- og Badehotel were among the first customers.
Only a few months into the DRYK adventure, Marina unfortunately passes away after a batteling with cancer. Christian chooses to honour 'Mina', as she was called, by continue their common mission to produce high-quality plant drinks, that contributes to the green transition. What drives Christian even further is being able to say to his grandchildren; "I did all I could to provide greener world to you".

There is no doubt about the world's interest for our plant drinks. During the first year, DRYK begin to export to 20+ countries. There is also high demand on the Danish market, where we have entered collaborations with many suppliers and customers.
