Minute Maid Orange Nectar

Minute Maid is a legacy brand with its roots in the United States, originally founded in 1945 by the Florida Foods Corporation to produce orange juice concentrate for the U.S. Army. The brand became widely known for its pioneering frozen concentrate technology. In 1960, the brand was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company, which remains its ultimate owner today.

While the brand originated in the USA, manufacturing is decentralized to local markets to maintain freshness and reduce carbon footprints. For products sold in Europe, production typically occurs in various regional facilities across countries like France, Belgium, and Spain. The ultimate owner, The Coca-Cola Company, is a global beverage leader headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The brand continues to be a dominant player in the global juice market, offering a wide range of fruit-based beverages.
