Who Owns Oka

OKA, the British furniture and home accessories retailer, is owned by Investindustrial, an Italian investment firm^[1][3][7]. The company was founded in 1999 by Annabel Astor (Viscountess Astor), Sue Jones, and Lucinda Waterhouse^[1][3][4][5], but ownership transferred to Investindustrial following its acquisition in 2018^[3][4]. Today, OKA continues to operate under Investindustrial’s ownership, focusing primarily on its UK business, with its US operations recently wound down^[3].
