Refresco soft drink / bottled water

Refresco is a global leader in the beverage industry, primarily known for its extensive private label production and contract manufacturing services for major retailers and global brands. Founded in the Netherlands, the company has grown through strategic acquisitions to become one of the largest independent bottling companies in the world.

Today, Refresco operates a vast network of production facilities across Europe and North America, including countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This localized manufacturing strategy allows them to serve various markets efficiently while maintaining high standards for soft drinks, juices, and water products.

Ownership of Refresco shifted significantly in recent years. After being a public company, it was taken private and is currently owned by KKR & Co. Inc., a major American global investment firm, which acquired a majority stake in 2022. This partnership is designed to fuel further international expansion and innovation in sustainable packaging and production logistics.
