Schweppes Australia is a big company in Australia that makes and sells many popular non-alcoholic drinks. It's part of a larger company called Asahi Beverages. Schweppes drinks first arrived in Australia way back in 1850.
The company started making drinks locally in 1877 when its first factory opened in Sydney. Later, in 1885, another factory was built in Melbourne. For a while, Schweppes Australia was part of a company called Cadbury Schweppes. But in 2009, it became a separate company again. Soon after, it was bought by Asahi Breweries, a large Japanese company.
Today, Schweppes Australia makes and sells many famous drink brands. These include well-known names like Pepsi, Sunkist, Mountain Dew, and Gatorade. They also produce their own Schweppes soft drinks. Plus, they make other popular Australian brands like Solo, Passiona, Cottee’s Cordial, Spring Valley Beverages, Pop Tops, and spring water brands like Cool Ridge and Frantelle. In 2011, Asahi also bought the juice and water brands from P&N Beverages, which was another big drink supplier in Australia.
The main office for Asahi Beverages in Australia is in Melbourne. The company has eight factories across five different states. They also have sales offices in each state to help distribute their drinks.
