How come Red Bull moved some factories to Switzerland and Netherlands?

Question

I noticed a lot of cans of Red Bull in USA have a Swiss and Dutch label, before it was just Austrian. Was there some tax break?

Answer 1

Some of the secret ingredients in RedBull (the "wing maker") can be found in Switzerland,  I assume.

Answer 2

According to them, expansion - they're selling more product (and expanding to new markets - like Japan).

Answer 3

No, no tax break.  The production has expanded due to want and demand of the energy drink. They plan on creating it into a franchise-like industry with many different types of energy drinks. Very high-tech.

Answer 4

sorry i dont know i have never been to north carolina!!!

Answer 5

Red Bull has no own places of production, but this drink is produced by the "Rauch"-Company. In Austria this company is situated in Nüziders and the company has built a manufactory in Switzerland Widnau especially for the american market to avoid trading problems between the European Union and the U.S.A. (Switzerland is no member of the EU until yet.)

I´m from Austria (-and I hope my English is understandable).
