Orangina sparkling orange drink

Orangina is a internationally recognized carbonated citrus beverage that is distinct for its inclusion of real orange pulp and essential oils. The brand's history began in French Algeria in 1933 when Spanish pharmacist Dr. Trigo developed the formula, which was later commercialized by Frenchman Jean-Claude Beton. Since its debut at the Marseille Trade Fair, it has become a staple of French refreshment culture, known for its iconic round bottle and the 'shake' required to mix the pulp.

Throughout its history, the brand has changed hands among several beverage giants. It was acquired by Pernod Ricard in 1984, then sold to Cadbury Schweppes in 2001. Following a spin-off of Cadbury's beverage division, it became part of the Orangina Schweppes Group. In 2009, the brand was acquired by the Japanese multinational Suntory, which now oversees its global production and distribution through its beverage and food division.

Manufacturing occurs in several regions to support local markets. In Europe and Africa, production is managed by Suntory Beverage & Food Europe, while in North America (where it is often licensed), production sites may vary. This specific can features multilingual labeling in French and Dutch, suggesting it was produced for and distributed in the Benelux or French markets.
