“Stay small and clear” has been the motto of the Karl Sinzinger locksmith company for 102 years.

The story of “Pedacola” from St. Thomas am Blasestein is comparatively young: the idea of developing a regional cola drink came about in 2008. Peter Leitner’s team spent two years fine-tuning the recipe and the drink, which does not contain any added cola nuts or colorings, has been on sale for ten years. The basis is the cola bush, plus beet sugar, vanilla, mint and lemon. New flavors and products are constantly being developed. Pedacola has applied to the “Innovation Emperors”.
