About the company
McCarter – Slovak quality with global reach
Since 1997, we’ve been bringing innovation, taste, and quality to the Slovak market. As one of the largest Slovak manufacturers of modern beverages, we believe in the power of natural ingredients and the functional benefits of our products.
At McCarter, our philosophy is built on values that shape every step of our work – from the selection of ingredients to the final product. We believe in natural formulas without compromise, where every drink contains only the very best that nature has to offer. We focus on quality in every product, with each drink undergoing careful quality checks to ensure it meets the high standards we set for ourselves. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do – we continuously improve our recipes and introduce new products that offer real health benefits, supporting the balanced and conscious lifestyles of our customers.
Our brands, our pride
RIO COLD PRESS, Rio, BODY&FUTURE, and Aloe Vera are brands offering natural fruit and vegetable juices, plant-based milk alternatives, and functional beverages packed with health benefits.
Global flavours within reach

We bring you the best from around the globe, directly to Slovakia.
Slovak quality across Europe
With more than 50% of our production destined for export, we’re bringing Slovak quality to markets across Europe – from the Czech Republic to Scandinavia. Our products have gained popularity in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and many other countries.
We’re proud of the international awards we’ve received for innovative beverages, as well as our certifications such as ISO 9001, IFS, Organic/Bio, and FDA.
Innovation and sustainability at the heart of McCarter
Our production base is in Dunajská Streda, where we draw on the latest technologies to maintain freshness and quality. We’re the only market player offering beverages with pieces of fruit, fruit pulp, chia seeds, basil seeds, flax seeds, bubble tea, and protein shakes. We develop drinks containing only natural sugars from fruits and vegetables as we strive to minimise refined sugar and artificial sweetener consumption. Our beverages are designed to act as a full meal replacement, providing the body with essential nutrients – from proteins and healthy fats to complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
Commitment to the environment
At McCarter, sustainability is a core belief. We package our products in eco-friendly, recyclable packaging and are continuously investing in new technologies to minimise our impact on the planet.
