Originally founded by George and John Cooke in 1886, we remain an independent, family-owned business to this day. For over 120 years we have been providing iconic, refreshing drinks..
In the 1950s we diversified into fruit juices and fruit drinks for the first time and the famous Calypso brand name first appeared. All our drinks are manufactured using our own on-site natural spring waters.
The Calypso brand has flourished for over 50 years as the popularity of juice and natural mineral water drinks has continued to grow. Today our range features a mouthwatering array of over 180 products - all of which aim to provide healthy and fun refreshment for all ages.
We moved to our purpose built plant in Wrexham, North Wales in 1998 and produce 500 million soft drinks and freeze drink products every year. The Calypso family of brands account for over 70% of the business, plus a strong licensed portfolio such as Disney, Scooby Doo and The Simpsons.
Our business is ISO9002 and EFSIS accredited, with regular BRC audits. We also are certified with the Fairtrade Foundation, enabling us to produce a range of Fairtrade products.
We still cherish the values we started out with as an innovative, service-led, independent family business. Sustainability, responsibility to our community and a genuine desire to produce delicious drinks that are healthy, refreshing and fun for all ages remain the heart and soul of our business.
