Apotekarnes (Apotekarnas) soft drink

Apotekarnes (older spelling Apotekarnas) is a historic Swedish soft-drink brand that dates back to the 19th century when it was founded as Apotekarnes Mineralvatten AB in 1874. The brand is best known for traditional Swedish 'must' drinks (notably julmust and påskmust) and a range of flavored sodas; these heritage beverages became closely associated with Swedish holiday traditions.

During the 20th century Apotekarnes' operations were merged into larger Swedish brewing groups (notably Pripps) and the brand later became part of Carlsberg Sverige's product portfolio. Today Apotekarnes is owned by the Carlsberg Group and is handled locally by Carlsberg Sverige AB, which produces and markets the Apotekarnes range in Sweden. Historically important corporate steps include consolidation with Pripps (mid-1900s) and subsequent incorporation into Carlsberg's Swedish operations. (en.wikipedia.org)

Manufacturing and packaging for the Apotekarnes range is primarily carried out in Sweden (Carlsberg Sverige lists Apotekarnes products as produced in Sweden and offers multiple pack formats), although as with many beverage brands regional production or licensed manufacturing outside the home market can occur. Distribution is handled through Swedish retail channels (supermarkets and beverage distributors) under Carlsberg Sverige's supply network. (carlsbergsverige.se)
