Facts about Capri Sun's success
Owned by
Capri Sun, also known as Capri Sonne, is owned by the German company of WILD under the leadership of its chairman Dr. Hans-Peter Wild.
Distributors
In the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, the juice concentrate drink is sold through Coca Cola. In North America, it is the responsibility of Kraft Foods and throughout the rest of the world, its sole distributor is the German company of its owners Rudolf Wild GmbH.
Introduced to the world
It was first developed by Rudolf Wild in Germany as Capri Sonne after it was first given a registered trademark in 1952. After development, the first products were sold in 1966 in that country. Worldwide distribution began in 1981.
Bottle can
The majority of the Capri Sun fun flavours are tropically-themed and until February 2006, a Big Pouch Capri Sun was available in a larger size until its discontinuation. Island Refreshers come in a ‘Bottle Can’ - this is an aluminium can with a screw on cap that comes in a bottle shape.

A later addition to the brand has been the ‘family sized’ version. A much larger pouch is currently only available in three of the standard sized pouch flavours.
