==History== In the early 1960s, soft drinks under the name Liko were produced at the Menken dairy factory in Wassenaar, Netherlands. When the production of soft drinks expanded, a new Liko factory was opened in Bodegraven in 1970. In 1995, Liko rebranded to Menken Drinks, from which Refresco was created through a management buy-out in 2000.
