Highlands takes on Coke with new soft drink brands

Nyeri-based Highlands Mineral Water Company is angling for a slice of the lucrative soda business currently dominated by global giants Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.

Highlands, one of Kenya’s pioneers of bottled water, last year started producing three brands of soda; Cola, Lemon, Lime and Orange, available in 300ml, 500ml and 1.25 litre plastic bottles.
