娃哈哈公司（Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd.）是中國大陸最大的飲料製造企業，目前世界排名第五。總部設在浙江省杭州市，公司成立於1987年。起初，它只是一家小規模的飲料廠，但在短短幾十年內迅速發展成為一個跨國企業集團。

娃哈哈以其多樣化的產品線和高品質的產品而聞名，主要生產各種飲料，包括果汁、茶飲和乳製品等。旗下的品牌有AD鈣奶、純淨水、非常可樂、營養快線、娃哈哈奶茶店等。該公司的產品在中國國內和國際市場上都享有很高的知名度和廣泛的市場佔有率。同時，娃哈哈也積極參與社會公益和慈善事業，致力於回饋社會，提升社會價值。

娃哈哈公司的創辦人是中國企業家宗慶後（Zong Qinghou）。他於1945年出生在中國浙江省的一個農村家庭。宗慶後在青少年時期因家境貧困無法接受正規教育，只能在農村務農謀生。後來進入工廠當一名工人，並開始從事代銷汽水和販賣冰棒等生意。

在個人努力和機遇下，於1987年創立娃哈哈公司，推出熱賣商品兒童營養液，從而開啟龐大的食品飲料王國。在創業過程中，宗慶後展現出色的商業頭腦和管理能力，成功將娃哈哈從一個小型飲料廠發展成為中國最大的飲料製造企業。2024年2月25日，曾經登上中國首富寶座的宗慶後因病逝世，享年79歲。

Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd. is the largest beverage manufacturing company in mainland China, currently ranking fifth in the world. Headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the company was founded in 1987. Initially, it started as a small-scale beverage factory but quickly developed into a multinational corporate group within just a few decades.

Wahaha is renowned for its diversified product lines and high-quality products, primarily producing various beverages including fruit juices, teas, and dairy products. Its brands include AD Calcium Milk, Pure Water, Very Cola, Nutri-Express, and Wahaha Milk Tea Shops, among others. The company's products enjoy high popularity and extensive market share both domestically in China and internationally.

Additionally, Wahaha actively participates in social welfare and charity projects, aiming to give back to society and enhance social values.

The founder of Wahaha is Chinese entrepreneur Zong Qinghou. Born in 1945 into a rural family in Zhejiang Province, Zong Qinghou faced poverty during his youth and was unable to receive formal education, instead working in agriculture to support himself. Later, he worked as a factory worker and engaged in businesses such as selling soft drinks and ice cream bars.

Through personal efforts and opportunities, Zong Qinghou founded Wahaha in 1987, introducing the popular product, Children's Nutrient Solution, and thus initiating the establishment of a vast empire in the food and beverage industry. Throughout the entrepreneurial journey, Zong Qinghou demonstrated remarkable business acumen and managerial capabilities, successfully transforming Wahaha from a small beverage factory into China's largest beverage manufacturing company. Zong Qinghou, who had once ranked as China's richest person, passed away due to illness on February 25, 2024, at the age of 79.
