Afri Cola Zero

Afri-cola is a historically significant German beverage brand, instantly recognizable by its distinctive palm tree logo. Originally launched in 1931, it became a cultural icon in Germany, particularly during the late 1960s with its avant-garde advertising campaigns. The 'zero' variant shown here is the modern, sugar-free version of the caffeinated soft drink.

The brand has remained deeply rooted in its German heritage throughout its existence. While it was once a major competitor to international cola brands in the domestic market, it now occupies a premium and cult-status niche. Manufacturing is primarily concentrated in Germany to serve its core European market, maintaining the quality and unique flavor profile that has defined the brand for nearly a century.

Ownership of the brand has changed hands over the decades. Since 1999, afri-cola has been owned by Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach KGaA. This parent company is a major player in the German mineral water and soft drink industry, ensuring that the brand remains under German corporate stewardship while benefiting from a wider distribution network across Central Europe.
