Food & drink
AG Barr has IRN-BRU, Rubicon, Boost, Barr flavours, KA, Rio, Fentimans and Frobishers, alongside majority-controlled wellness drinks and partner brands. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
01 / Behind the name
Public · listed Scottish drinks group [1]
AG Barr is publicly listed, rather than a wholly family-owned parent. It acquired 100% of Fentimans on 2 February 2026 and Frobishers in January 2026. The Turmeric Co. and Raw Hydrate are controlled through the 50.1% Innate-Essence acquisition in July 2025, with founders retaining 49.9%. Bundaberg and Snapple are partner/franchise brands, not globally Barr-owned. Strathmore was sold to Tŷ Nant on 29 July 2025. Cumbernauld is explicitly identified as head office on its current locations page; that does not establish tax residence. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
02 / On the map
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.

Named investors have not yet been established from the evidence used in this directory. This is a research gap; it does not mean the company has no investors. A stake in a parent or operating company is shown against that entity. Dates refer to each disclosure and can differ from the profile review date. Evidence links are included with each record.

Annual reporting period not yet verified
This ownership review has not established a UK cash corporation-tax payment. Bottling volumes, worldwide group tax, accounting charges and duties do not establish that amount. [1]
These figures have different scopes. They should not be added together or used as a like-for-like tax ranking.
