LA Ice No Sugar Cola

LA Ice Cola Origin and Corporate History

LA Ice Cola is a well-known Australian brand of cola soft drinks that was launched in 1999. It was originally created by P&N Beverages to compete with global giants like Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the Australian market. The brand quickly gained popularity as a value-driven alternative, often marketed alongside various sports and lifestyle sponsorships in the Australasian region.

Ownership and Production

Following a series of corporate acquisitions, the brand became part of the Tru Blu Beverages portfolio after P&N Beverages' assets were divided following an attempted acquisition by Asahi Beverages in the early 2010s. In 2022, Tru Blu Beverages was acquired by Refresco, a global independent provider of beverage solutions. Today, LA Ice remains a staple in Australian supermarkets and is primarily manufactured in Australia, utilizing local bottling plants and distribution networks under the Refresco umbrella.
