Grapette International, Inc. · Malvern, AR United States

Grapette International manufactures Grapette and Orangette soda; it also manufactures a variety of beverage flavors for private-label customers around the world. Grapette was first bottled in the 1940s, but the soda disappeared from US stores beginning in the late 1970s due to an acquisition of the brand by a rival beverage maker. Grapette and its sister brand Orangette returned to the US in 2005 through a distribution agreement with Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart had sold the Grapette and Orangette formulas under its own private-label before Grapette re-acquired the brands for US distribution. Grapette International has continuously sold its flagship brands to markets outside the US. To read the full description, subscribe now.
