AJE: brands it owns and its ownership tree

AJE is a privately held company headquartered in Lima, Peru that owns 9 consumer brands.[1]

AJE is a Peruvian multinational drinks maker built on the idea it calls democratising consumption: making soft drinks cheap enough for markets the international bottlers had priced out. Its history begins in 1988, when the Añaños Jeri family started producing drinks in Ayacucho, in the Peruvian Andes, giving rise to the Kola Real brand. It is still run by the family, several of whom sit on its board, and it now has commercial operations in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Nigeria, Cameroon, Réunion, Madagascar, Spain, Egypt, India, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. Its portfolio spans more than eight categories — carbonated soft drinks, juices, waters, teas, isotonic and energy drinks — sold through its own plants, distribution centres and a franchise network, and none of it is bottled under licence from another brand owner.
