The Ribena brand name was first used in 1938, and comes from the Latin name for blackcurrant: âRibes Negrumâ.During the war, the firm was responsible for practically all the quantities of blackcurrant syrup (based on the Ribena product) produced for free distribution to children by the Ministry of Food.n the autumn of 1947 the new factory went into limited production and Ribena continues to be produced on this site to this day. In 1955 the business was acquired by Beecham Foods Limited, part of the Beecham Group of companies, which later went on to become part of GlaxoSmithKline.
