About Coca-Cola (Angola)
Refriango has produced, bottled and distributed The Coca-Cola Company's brands in Angola since the two formalised a partnership in 2022, when Coca-Cola designated Refriango as its Angolan producer. Sprite, Fanta, Schweppes and Minute Maid are covered by the same arrangement. None of those names belong to Refriango, which owns Blue, Red Cola and the rest of its own portfolio: reports in December 2022 that Coca-Cola had bought Refriango's brands were publicly denied by both companies, and Refriango still lists those brands as its own.
