Wimmers Drinks: The History

The well known Wimmers softdrink brand was started when Franz Wimmer came to Australia from Germany and had a great knowledge of brewing softdrink based off the sarsaparilla root. Now the Wimmers brand is so well known it inspires thoughts of great taste and refreshment when you hear the name. For some time Franz worked in Queensland cordial factories gaining much needed experience before going on to start the Wimmers softdrink factory based in Nambour in 1909. Franz’s son later took ownership of the factory and worked hard to complete orders that were then delivered by horse and cart.

The beginnings of a good thing. -

One of the first orders for Wimmers was a large one from the Salvation Army. They were able to complete the order by continuously working day and night for weeks. The order consisted of a considerable amount of horehound beers and brewed hop. After 66 years the company was in need of a change so the original factory was knocked down and replaced with a new one. The Wimmers’ original and unique softdrinks held up a tight competition against Coke and Pepsi. So popular have been the Wimmers softdrinks that other companies have tried to recreate the flavors. Lemon, Lime and Bitters and Double Sars were front line products for Wimmers and later on included and pioneered the very popular flavors of Raspberry and Lemonade and Lime Cooler. To this day, the Wimmers Lemon, Lime and Bitters is still a classic favourite.

The small companies can survive. -

A lot of softdrink companies have stopped operations after World War II and most became agents for Coke and Schweppes. Wimmers have shown that the small bottlers can survive with a bit of hard work and determination.Today you can find Wimmers softdrinks being sold in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and NZ and Their high standard soft drinks have been exported to such countries as Japan and Saudi Arabia, entering a market that is usually not easy to gain access to. Due to popular consumer demand, Wimmers also decided to reintroduce their original export brewed ginger beer. In the more recent years, Wimmers have branched out into supplying other market products such as snack foods, juices, water and energy and health drinks. These additions have added popularity to their already popular softdrink and brought about continuous improvement for the company.

Wimmers deserves their widespread popularity because of their history in our state. Nothing tastes better than Wimmers softdrinks.
