Soma (Sotma) carbonated soft drink

Soma (often referred to locally as Sotma) is a prominent Algerian beverage brand that specializes in carbonated soft drinks. The brand is a cornerstone of the regional beverage market, known for offering a wide variety of flavors including orange, lemon-lime, and apple, tailored to local taste preferences.

The brand is owned and produced by SOTMA (Société de Transformation des Métaux et de l’Agroalimentaire), a private Algerian company. While the parent company originally had industrial roots in metal transformation, it successfully diversified into the food and beverage sector. The production facilities are located within Algeria, utilizing local manufacturing to supply the domestic market.

As of 2024 and looking toward the future, Sotma remains an independent Algerian enterprise. It has established a strong presence as a national alternative to global soda brands, maintaining its identity as a locally founded and operated business headquartered in Algeria.
