Princes and Capri-Sun partnership boosts UK production
Princes Group, a UK-based soft drinks manufacturer, has officially inaugurated four new production lines at its Bradford facility in England. The Bradford site, which is Princes' largest soft drinks production facility in the UK, has now fully operationalised its new lines as part of the £15m ($20.14m) partnership with Capri-Sun, which is known for children's beverages. This strategic alliance, which began in April 2024, aims to produce over 250 million Capri-Sun juice pouches annually and is seen as a significant step towards sustainable packaging. The partnership has already had a positive impact on the local economy, creating 50 new jobs in anticipation of the increased demand. Production commenced in late 2024, with the site now boasting 12 active production lines, catering to a variety of soft drink products such as dilutes, carbonates, and ready-to-drink offerings. As part of the transition, Capri-Sun has introduced new lightweight monomaterial drink pouches, which reportedly boast the lowest carbon dioxide footprint among beverage containers globally. Additionally, the site has implemented tethered caps on 330ml pouches, reducing packaging waste by 14%, aligning with the goal of establishing Capri-Sun as a sustainable children's soft drinks brand in the UK. The launch event was attended by Princes CEO Simon Harrison and Capri-Sun CEO Roland Weening, who provided tours of the facility. The new production includes classic Capri-Sun flavours alongside products such as Cola Zero and Monster Alarm Zero, with the Bradford site being the first globally to produce these new flavours. Capri Sun group supply chain vice-president Stefan Seiss said: 'This collaboration represents a significant step in meeting growing demand in the UK market. "The transition of production lines to Bradford reflects the successful cooperation between supply chain and engineering teams from both companies, ensuring a top-tier production setup to support Capri-Sun's expansion in the UK." Princes aims to achieve a significant 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2032, a testament to the partnership's potential to drive substantial improvements across the sector. Princes drinks group commercial director Andy Hargraves said: 'We are thrilled to make Bradford the UK home for Capri-Sun pouches, a testament to our commitment to product innovation and operational excellence. "This partnership not only creates new jobs but also aligns with our sustainability goals, leveraging our expertise to meet evolving consumer demands."

India's Reliance launches home-grown cola brand 'Campa' in UAE
India's Reliance Consumer Products on Tuesday launched its home-grown cola brand, Campa Cola, in the United Arab Emirates, marking the brand's first foray into the global market dominated by U.S. beverage giants PepsiCo and Coca-Cola. The FMCG arm of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Group said it has partnered with UAE-based food and beverage firm Agthia Group for the launch, but did not disclose any details of the deal, including the financial terms. The deal marks Campa Cola's first overseas expansion since its 2023 revival by Reliance Industries. It was a prominent brand in the 1970s and 1980s, but waned after PepsiCo and Coca-Cola entered India in 1991 and surged in popularity. "We believe it (Campa) will strongly resonate with the significant Indian expatriate community in the UAE, and, local consumers alike," Agthia CEO Alan Smith said. Campa Cola's entry into the rapidly growing soft drinks market in the UAE, which research firm Statista estimates to be around $1 billion, will put it in direct competition with Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and other local brands. The Campa portfolio in UAE will initially include Campa Cola, Campa Lemon, Campa Orange and Cola Zero - the sugar-free version of the beverage - and will bear the original red and purple packaging, Reliance Consumer said.
