About Turbo
Turbo is the energy drink S.M. Jaleel added to its range in 2009, the same year it acquired the Caribbean licence to produce Tampico juice drinks and opened its South African operation. It is the only stimulant drink in a portfolio otherwise built on juices, carbonated soft drinks and water, and the company's 2024 centenary campaign photographed it as far afield as the Fort George lighthouse in Belize City, which reflects an export reach now covering the Caribbean, Europe, North America and beyond.

About the owner: S.M. Jaleel
S.M. Jaleel is a privately held company headquartered in South Oropouche, Trinidad and Tobago, founded in 1924. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control.
S.M. Jaleel is one of the oldest and largest non-alcoholic beverage manufacturers in the English-speaking Caribbean, founded in Trinidad in 1924 by Sheikh Mohammed Jaleel and still family-controlled: his daughter Salaha Mohammed bought the failing business back into the family in 1975 and asked her son, Dr Aleem Mohammed, to abandon medicine to run it. He became chairman and chief executive in 1980 and moved the factory to the Otaheite Industrial Estate in South Trinidad, which remains the headquarters. The company pioneered PET bottling in the Caribbean in 1984, blows its own bottles directly from resin at roughly 18,000 an hour, and manufactures or distributes through subsidiaries in Barbados, Guyana, Suriname, St Lucia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and India. It marked its centenary in 2024.
