Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries Ltd, officially launched the Indian legacy brand Campa Cola in the UAE at the 30th edition of Gulfood, the world’s largest F&B sourcing event. This debut marks RCPL’s first entry into the United Arab Emirates and reaffirms its long-term commitment to the region.
Since acquiring Campa Cola in 2022 and reintroducing it to India in 2023, RCPL has successfully revived the heritage brand that held cult status in India in the 1970s and 1980s. Campa Cola’s entry into the beverages industry in the UAE is being launched with partner Agthia Group, one of the region’s leading food & beverage companies.
Ketan Mody, COO of Reliance Consumer Products Ltd, said: “We are excited to enter the UAE market with Campa, a heritage Indian brand founded more than 50 years ago. We are investing for the long-term and see great potential for accelerated growth in the region. We have a track record of delivering innovative and global quality products at affordable prices to customers. We are delighted to come together with our partners today to transform the beverage experience for consumers across the UAE.
Campa Cola has multi-generational relevance and reignites a memory and prompts consumers to revisit and relive those cherished moments. Campa isn’t just a drink; it’s a revival of a legacy, a taste of India, and a celebration of the spirit of today’s youth. We’re confident it will introduce a new wave of fans to its refreshing taste across all consumers in the UAE and spark nostalgia amongst Indian expats connecting them to their roots” said Mody.
Commenting on the partnership, Agthia’s Chief Executive Officer, Alan Smith, said, “We’re thrilled to partner with Reliance Consumer Products to bring Campa Cola to the UAE. This iconic brand holds deep nostalgia for many, and we believe it will strongly resonate with the significant Indian expatriate community in the UAE, and local consumers alike. This partnership further strengthens Agthia’s diverse beverage portfolio and reinforces our leadership in the region’s dynamic market. With our robust distribution network and market expertise, we’re excited to reintroduce Campa Cola to a new generation of consumers in the UAE.”
Campa Cola, with its refreshing taste and fizzy stimulation, positioned as an enabler of grit and determination, the brand celebrates the fearless, never-give-up attitude of today’s youth. It is more than just a beverage, it is a symbol of perseverance and ambition, inspiring consumers to embrace challenges with confidence and enthusiasm. With its vibrant packaging and nostalgic charm, Campa Cola is set to become a favourite among consumers.
The Campa portfolio will initially include Campa Cola, Campa Lemon and Campa Orange and Cola Zero. From its eye-catching refreshed red and purple packaging to its promise of a competitively priced product, Campa Cola is well on its way to becoming a modern-day success story, making it ever more relevant to the UAE.
