granini Maracuja Schorle

Granini is an iconic fruit juice brand with a history dating back to 1964 in Germany. Originally founded by Heinz Schürmann as a fruit-to-drink (Trinkfrucht) concept inspired by Italian lifestyle, it quickly became famous for its distinctive dimpled glass bottle. The brand's presence in the gastronomy and retail sectors has made it one of the most recognized juice names in Europe.

Ownership of the brand transitioned through several hands, notably including the Melitta Group, before being fully consolidated under the Eckes-Granini Group. This family-owned German giant, headquartered in Nieder-Olm, acquired a majority stake in 1994 and became the sole owner in 2006. Today, the Eckes-Granini Group manages a diverse international portfolio of fruit-based beverages.

Manufacturing for the German market, including the Granini Gastro and 'Schorle' (spritzer) lines, is primarily conducted at the company's facilities in Germany. The group maintains high standards of production, from sourcing global raw materials like passion fruit (Maracuja) to bottling the finished carbonated spritzer seen in the distinctive 0.33L returnable glass bottles.
