Which Danish company currently owns Lemonsoda?

The story behind the answer

Royal Unibrew currently owns Lemonsoda.

Lemonsoda is an Italian carbonated soft-drink brand created in the 1940s by Saga, a Milan-based company. The original flavor was lemon, and the brand later expanded with related drinks such as Oransoda, made with orange, and Pelmosoda, made with grapefruit.

The ownership history changed several times. The brand was sold to Crodo in 1980, and Crodo became part of the Campari Group in 1999. Campari later sold its Lemonsoda business to the Danish beverage company Royal Unibrew in October 2017 for €80 million.

A frequent mistake is choosing Saga or Campari Group because both companies are central to Lemonsoda’s history. Saga created the brand, while Campari owned it for many years, but neither is the current owner. Royal Unibrew’s portfolio also includes other beverage brands across European markets, making Lemonsoda part of a broader Danish-owned drinks business rather than an Italian-owned one.
