Chaleo Yoovidhya developed Krating Daeng in Thailand in 1976. The drink was initially targeted at blue-collar workers, with the aim of increasing their endurance and concentration during long work hours. In 1987, Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz co-founded Red Bull GmbH and modified the formula to suit Western tastes, leading to the creation of Red Bull.
