Sinalco Orange-Carrot-Lemon drink

Owner:RheinfelsQuellen H. Hövelmann GmbH & Co. KG (Germany)
OriginGermany
Manufactured:Germany

Sinalco is a historic German soft drink brand, famous for being the oldest soft drink brand in continental Europe. It was created in 1902 by the naturopath Friedrich Eduard Bilz and industrialist Franz Hartmann as 'Bilz-Brause' before being renamed Sinalco in 1905 (from the Latin phrase 'sine alcohole').

The brand has changed ownership several times over the decades. Since 1994, it has been owned by the Hövelmann family (Hövelmann Group). While the main production and brand management remain in Duisburg, Germany, Sinalco operates on a global franchise model, meaning the beverage is bottled and distributed in over 40 countries through local partners. The specific product shown is 'Sinalco ACE', a vitamin-fortified fruit drink that is especially popular in German-speaking markets.
