history
The cola brand Kofola has a strong presence in the Czech and Slovak markets, and the history of the then state-owned company goes back to the 1960s. At that time, the pharmaceutical company Galena was researching a use for the surplus of caffeine that was created during coffee roasting. The result was a cola-like soft drink that was first launched in 1962 under the name Kofola. Since western cola brands were difficult to find in the Eastern Bloc at that time , Kofola quickly achieved great popularity.
After 1989 Kofola competed, there were initially several independent companies that produced drinks under the name Kofola, since Kofola was not a protected brand at the time.
