Suja Juice Corporate Office

Suja Juice was founded in San Diego, California, in 2012 by four friends, Annie Lawless, Eric Ethan, James Brennen and Jeff Church. Lawless and Ethan were upset that they could not find GMO free, organic juice, so they decided to start their own company.

The company created and blends GMO free, certified organic juices. The company uses a procedure called HIgh Pressure Processing, which allows more juice to be squeezed from the fruit or vegetables used. Only BPA free, PETE plastic bottles are used. There are several different varieties to choose from, including vegan, kosher, gluten free, and soy free.

In 2015, Coca Cola took a 15% minority share of the company for $90 million. The objective was to sell Suja Juice through Coca Cola’s extensive distribution network. At this time, the product is sold only in the US or online.
