“Maluma is our innovation in response to a demand for feel-good, natural drinks that … have nutrients to support the skin, metabolism and immune system,” said BLC’s CEO, Rolf Fritsch.
Ardagh Group’s sales director, Dirk Schwung added: “There’s a growing demographic of consumers who will be excited by a feel-good, healthy drink like Maluma.
