Schweppes Pomelo soft drink

Schweppes is one of the world's most historic beverage brands, originally founded in Geneva in 1783 by Jacob Schweppe, who developed the first practical process to manufacture carbonated mineral water. The brand later moved its headquarters to London, where it became the official purveyor of soda water to the British Royal Family. Over centuries, the brand has evolved from a medicinal tonic to a global leader in premium mixers and fruit-flavored sodas.

In modern times, the ownership of Schweppes is geographically fragmented due to various historical acquisitions. In the European market, particularly in Spain and Portugal (where BM Supermercados operates), the brand is owned and managed by the Suntory Beverage & Food Europe group. This subsidiary of the Japanese giant Suntory handles the production and distribution across its designated territories. For the Spanish market, bottling and manufacturing typically occur at local facilities within Spain to ensure freshness and supply chain efficiency.
