Schweppes Dry Ginger Ale Zero Sugar

Schweppes is one of the world's oldest and most iconic beverage brands, with its roots tracing back to 1783 when Jacob Schweppe developed a process to manufacture carbonated mineral water in Geneva, Switzerland. The brand eventually moved to London, gaining royal patronage and becoming a staple of the global carbonated drink market.

In the Australian market, the brand has a rich history and is a dominant player in the mixer category. For many years, Schweppes Australia was a major independent entity before being acquired. Today, the manufacturing and distribution of Schweppes products in Australia are handled locally, ensuring that the supply chain remains largely domestic despite the international heritage of the brand name.

Ownership of the Schweppes brand is complex and varies geographically. In Australia, the brand and local operations are owned by Asahi Beverages, a subsidiary of the Japanese multinational Asahi Group Holdings. This ownership structure means that while the brand's heritage is European and British, its modern strategic direction and regional production are overseen by a major Japanese conglomerate.
