Postobón is a the largest beverage company in Columbia and is based in Medellín. It is also one of the largest in South America. It has a wide range of products composed of light and alcoholic beverages, fruit drinks, water, new generation (they are, energizers and moisturizing), sauces, dressings, nuts, seasonings, snacks and jam.
On October 11, 1904, Gabriel Posada and Valerio Tobón (the company's name being a portmanteau of their last names) started to produce soft drinks. Soon after, in Medellín, Colombia, their first product, called "Cola-Champaña", became very famous in bars, stores, social clubs, and homes. This product was distributed in a wagon pulled by a donkey; because of geography the company could not distribute its products throughout all cities and towns. At this stage, Posada and Tobón decided to open two factories; the first was opened in 1906 in Manizales and the second in Cali the same year. Since that time, Postobón products are manufactured throughout Colombia. |
