About Réa
Réa is the juice brand of the French company Les Vergers d'Alsace, which Eckes-Granini acquired in 1998 as one of two deals that took it into the major European fruit-beverage markets. In 2002 the group merged Les Vergers d'Alsace with Joker, which it had bought in 2001, to form Eckes-Granini France, which holds the granini, Joker and Réa brands. The group says that for decades Réa has brought families together around the table.
