About the owner: KEO
KEO is a publicly listed company headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, founded in 1927. Brandtree records 17 brands under its control, and it is listed as CSE: KEO.
KEO is the largest drinks company in Cyprus, formed in 1927 and quoted on the Alternative Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. Its own accounts split its business in two: vinifying grapes, brewing beer, making juice and bottling natural mineral water, which it sells at home and in more than thirty countries; and importing and distributing drinks and canned food belonging to other companies. That second activity is why much of what KEO carries — Jim Beam, Laurent-Perrier, Erdinger, Kopparberg — is on its list but is not its to own.
🇨🇾 SWS and other Cypriot brands
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 20 brands that began in Cyprus. 1 of them (5%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country; SWS is not one of them.
