Genval, BELGIUM (8 September 2020) – Suntory Beverage & Food Benelux is now the new publicly facing name of Schweppes Suntory Benelux in a move designed to bring the company closer to the Suntory Group’s global brand identity.
Suntory Beverage & Food Europe (SBFE), a division of Suntory Group, one of the leading global drinks companies, has announced that as of September 8, 2020 all of its local markets will undergo a commercial name change to unify the organisation. A new corporate brand look will accompany the name changes, reflecting the company’s global identity, Japanese roots and proud heritage.
Suntory Beverage & Food Benelux is renowned for making some of Europe’s most iconic heritage brands – including Schweppes, Oasis or Orangina. These brands remain the heartland of the business, attracting loyal consumers, delivering value for retail and hospitality partners, and supporting the company’s vision of Growing for Good – doing the right thing by society, people, and the planet.
“We are very proud to be part of the global Suntory family. Aligning the companies together under one name and visual identity will bring our employees together in order to be more connected and speed up the innovation of our products by making best practice travel fast between markets.” explains Frank Ceulemans, General Manager of Suntory Beverage & Food Benelux. “The objective is to improve our business day by day and to grow in a sustainable and purposeful way. We want to make Suntory Beverage & Food Benelux a reference in the Benelux soft drink sector and continue to promote our positive impact on society and on our employees.”
Peter Harding, Chief Executive Officer Suntory Beverage & Food Europe said, “Being part of the Suntory family is something special. The company was founded in 1899 based on strong values, a belief in giving back to society, and a fearless spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. I couldn’t be prouder to see the Suntory name front and centre of all our business operations across Europe. This signals a cultural shift in our organisation, bringing our employees together to be more connected and collaborative, and working together to deliver better outcomes for our customers and consumers.”
