Today's Slades Beverages had its humble beginnings back in 1867. The story started when Frederick Moneaux O'Neil and brother Thomas began their first soft drink home delivery business in Melbourne.
Trading under the name of O'Neil Brothers Soft Drinks, they established the manufacturing and distribution at 9 Woodside Street, North Fitzroy. They had a simple marketing strategy: to produce quality drinks. Eventually, they developed a wide range of drinks with a large clientele in the surrounding districts, delivered door-to-door by horse and cart.
With the popularity of their quality drinks, they were able to expand to include all the metropolitan suburbs. Their home delivery service became a household favorite which also included many hotels. In 1930, a change of name was considered and Slade being one of Frederick's Christian names was selected to carry on the family name. From then on the Company has been known as Slades Soft Drinks Pty Ltd.
Today, our manufacturing facility covers 60,000 square feet in Thomastown, Victoria. We still have the same mission to provide healthy and quality-assured beverages. With more than 100 years of manufacturing experience, we pride ourselves in producing quality soft drinks and spring water.
There's more to Slades than just soft drinks. Every drop of our drink comes with a story, a history, and the dedication of our Slades team. That's why we have enjoyed our brand loyalty for so long. We appreciate your feedback, and are always striving to improve.
Slades Beverages continues to enjoy loyal support from our customers. Therefore, our home delivery service will re-launch again in 2009 to provide you with that personal service.
