Schweppes doesn’t have a single global owner; different big beverage companies own or control it in different regions, but none of them is PepsiCo.

Quick Scoop: Who Owns Schweppes?

  • In most international markets (including the UK and many countries in Europe, Africa and beyond) , Schweppes is owned and managed by The Coca‑Cola Company , which controls manufacturing and distribution rights in over 150 countries.
  • In North America (USA and Canada) , Schweppes is owned/controlled by Keurig Dr Pepper (successor to Dr Pepper Snapple Group and Cadbury Schweppes in that region).
  • In Australia , Schweppes is owned and operated by Asahi Group Holdings , which bought Schweppes Australia from Cadbury in 2009.
  • In parts of Western Europe (such as Spain, France, Portugal), Schweppes is handled by Suntory Group via its European beverage arm, following its acquisition of Orangina Schweppes.
  • Across remaining territories, rights are split among various regional partners, but there is no region where Schweppes is a PepsiCo brand , despite the common confusion when it sits next to Pepsi products on shelves.

Simple way to think about it

If someone asks “who owns Schweppes?” the most accurate short answer today is:

Schweppes is mainly a Coca‑Cola brand globally, but in the US and Canada it’s owned by Keurig Dr Pepper, in Australia by Asahi, and in some European markets by Suntory — and it has no connection to PepsiCo.
