About Melo
Melo is the newest of Kasapreko's carbonated soft drinks, produced in several variants and sold in 350ml PET bottles and in a twenty-piece pack the company says sets a new standard in the Ghanaian market.

About the owner: Kasapreko
Kasapreko is a publicly listed company headquartered in Accra, Ghana, founded in 1987. Brandtree records 15 brands under its control, and it is listed as GSE: KASA.
Kasapreko is a Ghanaian beverage manufacturer whose portfolio runs from herbal bitters and locally distilled spirits to bottled water, carbonated soft drinks and children's juice. It was incorporated on 9 March 1987 as Quab Gooding Company Limited, took the Kasapreko name in September 1992, converted to a public limited company in 2023 and listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange in June 2026 after an offer of up to 583 million shares. Its plants in Accra and Kumasi can package more than 150,000 bottles an hour into glass and PET, and the company has turned that capacity into a second business: it sells food-grade carbon dioxide at 99.9 per cent purity, ethanol, PET preforms and caps, and toll-packing services to other drinks makers across West Africa.
