Alko and Hartwall finally sign the first open-ended Original Long Drink contract.

In the 1950s, Alko still has an exclusive right over the production, import, export, and trade of alcoholic beverages under the Law on Beverages. As a result, Original Long Drink production is agreed with a three-year contract at a time.

In 1968, thanks to the excellent cooperation between Hartwall and Alko, they sign the firs open-ended Original Long Drink contract.
