Spring Valley Juice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Created in 1955, Spring Valley Juice positioned itself as a premium juice brand and is available in 20 flavours. On 29 November 2000, Cadbury Schweppes acquired Spring Valley Juice, which has approximately a 27% share of Australian single serve juices in the "route" (convenience) segment.[1]

In 2004, Spring Valley launched the Fruitsation brand, as well as a new Apple & Cranberry Juice in the same year.
