It’s a Thai and Austrian company.

This is the original Red Bull

An Austrian dude found this drink in Thailand and then negotiated a deal with the family that owns Krating Deng (Red Bull) so he could sell a fizzy version in Europe and later the rest of the world.

Thanks to that Austrian guy that Thai family is now the richest family in Thailand.

Crazy story! I'm so glad it worked out for each party.
