Ribena Summer Fruits juice drink

Ribena is an iconic British fruit juice brand founded in 1938 by Dr. Vernon Charley at the University of Bristol. Originally developed as a blackcurrant cordial to provide a rich source of Vitamin C during World War II, it has since expanded into various fruit flavours, including the Summer Fruits variant seen here.

The product is primarily manufactured at the Coleford factory in Gloucestershire, England, which is one of the largest soft drink production sites in Europe. Historically owned by Beecham and later GlaxoSmithKline, the brand was acquired in 2013 by the Japanese beverage giant Suntory. Today, it is managed under the Suntory Beverage & Food Great Britain and Ireland division, continuing its long-standing heritage in the UK market.
