Our purpose and passion have always been refreshment

In 1960, we acquired Minute Maid. That was our first step toward becoming a total beverage company and being there when people enjoy and share in life’s best moments.

Total Beverage Company

Our beverage portfolio has expanded to more than 200 brands and thousands of beverages around the world, from soft drinks and waters, to coffee and teas. Learn more about our brands and our commitment to quality products.
