Sinalco Cola Zero soft drink

Sinalco is a historic German beverage brand, famously recognized as one of the oldest soft drink brands in mainland Europe. Originally founded in 1902 by Franz Hartmann and Friedrich Eduard Bilz as 'Bilz-Brause,' it was renamed Sinalco (short for Latin 'sine alcohole' - without alcohol) in 1905. The brand became an international success, known for its distinctive red dot logo and fluted bottle design.

Today, Sinalco is owned by the Hövelmann family (Hövelmann Getränke-Gruppe), who acquired the international rights in 1994. While the core manufacturing and headquarters are in Germany, the brand is produced globally through various licensing agreements and bottling partners. The Cola Zero variant shown here is a modern adaptation catering to the sugar-free soft drink market while maintaining the brand's long-standing heritage.
