The SodaStream can trace its roots back to 1903 when Guy Hugh Gilbey, a London gin distiller created a machine for aerating liquids. The machine was sold to upper class families.
In the 1920s, flavored beverages such as sarsaparilla were introduced.
In 1955, the first machine designed for use in the home was introduced.
The 1970s and 80s saw the machine’s popularity rise in the UK. Their slogan “get busy with the fizzy” became a huge success.
In 1985, the company became a subsidiary of Cadbury Schweppes.
In 1998, the company was purchased by Israel based Soda-Club.
In 2010, the company went public under stock symbol SODA.
Today, SodaStream sells their home carbonation machines worldwide. Europe accounts for over 50% of their sales but a recent partnership with WalMart has boosted US sales numbers.
