Broxburn-based Ooni, the cooking product company and leader in the home pizza oven market, has secured £10 million of financing provided by HSBC UK and guaranteed by UK Export Finance (UKEF), the UK government’s export credit agency, to support its international growth.

The financing provides Ooni with a flexible working capital buffer to underpin continued expansion across key markets in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Founded in 2012, Ooni has grown from a Kickstarter-funded start-up into a global consumer brand. The company currently employs over 230 people globally, with 167 roles based in the UK. Following recent growth, Ooni is now hiring 8 additional UK-based roles.

Founded by Edinburgh-born Darina Garland and Kristian Tapaninaho, Ooni has operations in several international markets while retaining a significant presence in Scotland, including its product development operation at Ooni Park in Broxburn and offices at Edinburgh Park.

Andrew Brown, Chief Financial Officer at Ooni, said: “Our 2025 profit growth gave our partners a clear vote of confidence in the strength of the Ooni brand and our strategic direction, despite persistent global market headwinds.

“That underlying balance sheet resilience led HSBC to extend our credit facility from £6 million to £10 million, supporting Ooni on its next phase of growth.”

Stephanie Betant, Managing Director and Head of Global Trade Solutions at HSBC UK, said: “Ooni is a great example of the ambition we see among UK businesses looking beyond their home market for growth.

“As companies expand internationally, having the right trade, working capital and banking solutions in place makes all the difference – helping them manage complexity, strengthen resilience and seize opportunities in new markets.

“At HSBC UK, we’re proud to collaborate with UKEF so businesses like Ooni can turn international ambition into sustainable growth.”
