Who we are

EPSA: A story of refreshment

The history of EPSA dates back to 1924, when there was a surplus of lemons in the geographical area of Pelion. Observing a sales increase of traditional lemonade by peddlers, the owners of EPSA set the goal to create a factory that produces Soft Drinks. A German Chemical Engineer was invited to assist with the production of lemonade. It was then that the secret recipe was born and is preserved until today.

During the nine decades that passed since then, a lot of progress has been made. In 1937, EPSA was awarded the “Golden Award for Quality” at Thessaloniki International Fair. In 1940, the noted glass bottle of EPSA, that was meant to become the landmark of the brand, is designed.

The last years, next to the classic Orangeade, Lemonade, Lemon Soda and Soda Water, many new products have been added: Iced Drinks with Tea in several flavours, Tonic, Sour Cherry Drink, Organic Lemonade and Orangeade and Lemonade, Orangeade and Cola light (with sweetener from the stevia plant). Also, “light drops”, a liquid sweetener from the stevia plant, was the new innovation. Last, but not least, Pink Lemonade was the latest addition to our product list.

Position in consumer consciousness

Epsa is the company that has proved in its 97 years of life that it produces Greek soft drinks, keeping its quality and taste high and steady.

The company that became identical to its product, which brought it to Athens as a gift to its acquaintance with the visitors of Pelion, loading kasakas together with their luggage in their car, is still a traditional family business, “built” on solid foundations of the myth of the secret recipe of Otto’s German chemical engineer of high quality and innovation.
