    As reported · 12 Oct 2026

The UK operator trades as Suntory Beverage & Food Great Britain and Ireland. Its Japan-listed parent is distinct from private Suntory Holdings: the latter held 59.48% of voting rights at 31 December 2025 and is itself a subsidiary of Kotobuki Realty. This is not a 100% parent stake or a complete ultimate shareholder table. Orangina's UK production uses an intragroup trademark licence. Suntory's Schweppes/Oasis ownership territories exclude the UK. Alcoholic -196 / Minus196 is outside this soft drinks catalogue. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
