Refresco, a global independent beverage solutions provider for A-brands and retailers in Europe and North America, announces today it has completed the acquisition of HANSA-HEEMANN, following the receipt of regulatory approval from competition authorities.
On July 8, 2021, Refresco announced that it had entered into an agreement with HANSA-HEEMANN, a
family-owned independent beverage manufacturer, to acquire its five production sites in Germany. Now
that the acquisition has been completed, Refresco has nine bottling facilities strategically located in
Germany, resulting in national coverage to serve customers’ demands. With this acquisition, Refresco
also further enhances its position in terms of product and brand portfolio.

as it further diversifies and strengthens our business in Germany, which will benefit our customers.
Through this acquisition, we significantly expand our offering in mineral water and soft drinks, and we
are going to accelerate our operational excellence through HANSA-HEEMANN’s know-how in the water
category. In addition, we will be able to improve transport efficiencies and leverage our global scale to
further drive change in improving the sustainable use of resources.”
The integration process will commence immediately.
