Sinalco Original soft drink

Sinalco is a historic German beverage brand founded in 1902 by Franz Hartmann and Friedrich Eduard Bilz. Originally launched as 'Bilz-Brause', it was renamed Sinalco in 1905, a name derived from the Latin 'sine alcohole' (without alcohol). It is one of the oldest soft drink brands in Europe and is famous for its iconic red dot logo.

Today, the brand is owned by the Hövelmann family through the company Hövelmann Beteiligungs GmbH, based in Duisburg, Germany. While the brand remains deeply rooted in German industrial history, it is produced in several countries globally through a wide network of franchise partners and local bottlers. In Germany, the brand is managed under Deutsche Sinalco GmbH Markengetränke & Co. KG.
