Ovomaltine was exported to Britain in 1909. A misspelling of the name on the trademark registration application led to the name being shortened to "Ovaltine" in English-speaking markets. A factory was built in Kings Langley, which took it to the United States as well. By 1915, Ovaltine was being manufactured in Villa Park, Illinois, for the U.S. market. Ovaltine was later manufactured in Peterborough, Ontario, for distribution in Canada. Gerald Ethelbert Goldsmith was the president of the Ovaltine Foods at this time.
