1999

Refresco's history began in 1999 when Menken Beverages, the predecessor of Refresco, was founded with a management buyout of Menken Drinks and Refrescos de Sur Europa S.A. from a major Dutch dairy group.

2000

In 2000, Menken Beverages acquired Krings Fruchtsaft in Germany, gaining access to the German discount retail channel. The formation of Refresco Holding followed with production sites in the Netherlands, Spain and Germany. What came next for Refresco was the start of an ambitious strategy to grow through implementation of a buy & build strategy.

2007

Until 2007, Refresco was solely a fruit juice manufacturer and Refresco acquired multiple juice manufacturers in Germany, Spain and Finland in the six years after its founding. In 2007, Refresco made the strategic choice to diversify its business portfolio to also include carbonated soft drinks. Over the next six years Refresco bought operations in Poland, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and the Benelux.

2013

Refresco merged with Gerber Emig. This was a milestone event that significantly increased the size of the company and enhanced our position in the UK.

2017

In 2017, Refresco announced the acquisition of Cott's bottling activities, the single largest acquisition in company history, transforming Refresco into world's largest independent bottler for retailers and A-brands with leadership positions across Europe and North America.

2019

Refresco continued to grow and in 2019 and 2020, we announced a number of acquisitions. In Spain, the UK, and France we took over production facilities from large branded beverage companies, and in the US we bought two facilities including an R&D center.

2021

In 2021, we announced multiple acquisitions in Europe and North America. In Europe, we announced the acquisition of HANSA-HEEMANN, a major German mineral water and CSD company, increasing our presence to a total of nine production facilities across Germany. In the US, in addition to some smaller acquisitions, we acquired three large production facilities from The Coca-Cola Company.
