Since the launch of Spiro Spathis and its factory in 1920 in the Cairo area by a Greek man of the same name, [3], the gained popularity in the Egyptian market. After the 1952 revolution the Egyptian Government used the products of the Spiro Spathis factory to encourage the development of national industries. Thus did not continue long after President Anwar Sadat's presidency started as the government had adopted the Infitah policy in 1974. [4]
In the forties, fifties, [5] and sixties, Spiro Spathis turned into a famous brand not only amongst the populace but also with the media, as it was known to be the favorite soft drink of the famous Egyptian singer, Umm Kulthum. [6]
The company's products have always continued to remain in the Egyptian markets, although it eventually had to compete with foreign products. [7] The company remained under the supervision of Spiro Spathis's family until the end of the nineties, when it was announced that the entire company would be acquired in 1998 by Sabsa Carbonated Water Company, an Egyptian company founded in 1970 by brother businessmen Talaat Atwan and Samir Atwan, who were working on developing local soft drinks.

Returning to the market in early 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, the company launched several advertising campaigns and began to have a regain a presence in the market. A huge change happened however when the product reappeared in the limelight after campaigns to boycott foreign products and encourage Egyptian products like Spiro Spathis as one of the popular tools to pressure international companies that support the Israeli involvement in the Israel-Hamas war, [9] [12] partially due to the awareness campaigns many Egyptians performed on Social Media apps.
