Lucozade Lucozade is a soft drink that is manufactured by the Japanese company Suntory, who bought Lucozade and Ribena from GlaxoSmithKline in 2013 for £1.35 billion.

In 1938 it was acquired by the British pharmaceutical company Beecham's and was sold to the sick as an energy drink called 'Lucozade'.
