Suntory is a privately held company headquartered in Osaka, Japan, founded in 1899. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control.
Suntory was founded in Osaka in 1899 and pioneered Japanese whisky at the Yamazaki distillery from 1923. The holding company is unlisted and controlled by the Kotobuki foundation associated with the founding Torii family; its 2014 purchase of Beam made it one of the largest spirits groups in the world.
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 322 brands that began in France. 100 of them (31%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country, Orangina among them.
Suntory took full ownership of the Orangina Schweppes group from its private equity owners, Lion Capital and Blackstone, giving the Japanese group a soft drinks platform across continental Europe. The price was never confirmed by the parties. Suntory Beverage & Food records the purchase in its own corporate history alongside the Frucor acquisition made the same year.
The parent company of Orangina is Suntory, a privately held company headquartered in Japan.
Orangina originated in France in 1936, but it is owned today by Suntory, which is headquartered in Japan. So Orangina is a French-origin brand under Japanese ownership.
