Through his enterprise and capacity for innovation, António João Eusébio created a small company in 1945 that became the biggest non-alcoholic drinks group in Portugal years later. After the acquisition of COMPAL in 2009, the SUMOL+COMPAL merger created a clear leader in the Portuguese non-alcoholic drinks markets with a major international presence. The company was founded in Portugal, but it also has an international outlook, by developing its own brands and also representing 3rd-party brands.
