Our Legacy

Pioneering Beverage & Citrus Innovation Since 1908

CIS Sicily has been a leader in quality and innovation for over a century. While our roots lie in citrus derivatives, today we are at the forefront of beverage research and development, offering expertise in carbonated and non-carbonated drinks, premium juices, and functional beverages.

Our journey began in 1908, with decades of experience in citrus processing and trade. This legacy led to the establishment of our state-of-the-art factory in 1949, founded by Ferdinando Briguglio in Messina, Sicily. At the time, the facility was considered one of the most advanced in the region, incorporating cutting-edge extraction and processing technologies to ensure high-quality citrus products. Located near Sicily's rich volcanic soils, the factory allowed us to work closely with local citrus producers, securing the finest raw materials for our operations.

As the industry evolved, so did CIS. Today, we are not just a citrus derivatives company. We are a partner in beverage innovation, helping brands develop new, high-quality products tailored to market demands. Our R&D division specializes in customized formulations, ensuring that each product, whether a natural juice, a functional drink, or a carbonated beverage, meets the highest standards of taste, stability, and consumer appeal.

With a perfect balance of tradition and innovation, CIS continues to push boundaries, delivering exceptional quality and groundbreaking solutions to the global beverage industry.
