Schweppes

Schweppes, founded in 1958, operates as the non-alcoholic beverage division of Asahi Breweries in Australia. Originally established in the country in 1850, the company began local production with its first factory in Sydney in 1877. Following an international merger forming Cadbury Schweppes in 1969, the entity was re-separated, leading to Schweppes Australia's acquisition by Asahi Breweries in April 2009. Now known as Asahi Lifestyle Beverage, it continues its legacy in the Australian market.

The company employs between 1,000 and 5,000 individuals across its operations. It manages eight manufacturing sites spread across five Australian states, complemented by sales offices in each state, ensuring broad market coverage. Schweppes Australia functions as a licensed manufacturer and distributor for prominent global brands including Pepsi, Sunkist, Mountain Dew, and Gatorade.

Beyond licensed brands, Schweppes Australia produces a diverse portfolio of its own popular Australian beverages. This includes well-known names such as Solo, Passiona, Cottees Cordial, Spring Valley Beverages, Pop Tops, Cool Ridge, and Frantelle spring water. In 2011, Asahi further expanded its beverage offerings by acquiring the juice and water brands from P&N Beverages, solidifying its position as a major volume supplier in Australia's fruit juice, soft drink, and mineral water sectors. The company's revenue reached $1.1B.
