Asahi Group controls 9 brands on Brandtree, 9 of them in beverages.
The 200 brands in lager on Brandtree belong to 55 owners. The largest is AB InBev, with 17; Asahi Group has 7.
Asahi Group is a publicly listed company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, founded in 1889. Brandtree records 9 brands under its control, and it is listed as TSE: 2502.
Asahi Group Holdings was founded in Osaka in 1889 and is one of the two dominant Japanese brewers. It became a genuinely international company between 2016 and 2020 by buying the European and Australian beer brands that AB InBev was forced to divest to clear its takeover of SABMiller.
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 91 brands that began in Poland. 18 of them (20%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country, Tyskie among them.
Asahi bought SABMiller's central and eastern European businesses from AB InBev, including Pilsner Urquell in the Czech Republic and Tyskie in Poland, in the second and larger tranche of divestitures required to clear the SABMiller merger.
The parent company of Tyskie is Asahi Group, a publicly listed company headquartered in Japan.
Tyskie originated in Poland in 1629, but it is owned today by Asahi Group, which is headquartered in Japan. So Tyskie is a Polish-origin brand under Japanese ownership.
Asahi Group completed its acquisition of Tyskie on 31 March 2017, after announcing the deal on 13 December 2016. The deal, which also included Pilsner Urquell, was valued at €7.3 billion (enterprise value).
Before Asahi Group, Tyskie was owned by SABMiller from 1996 until 2017.
