Suntory Oceania

Bringing the best of Suntory to Oceania. By harnessing the best of Suntory from across Australia and New Zealand, Suntory Global Spirits and Suntory Beverage & Food Oceania have come together to create a new $3bn multi-beverage powerhouse – Suntory Oceania. Underpinned by quality craftsmanship and a strong sense of purpose, the combined portfolio of over 40 market-leading brands will be powered by five distribution centres, more than 1,500 Suntorians and two local manufacturing sites. This includes the new carbon neutral facility scheduled to open this year in Ipswich Queensland. The new +$400 million, 17-hectare greenfield site is the largest single FMCG investment into Australia in the last decade, providing Suntory Oceania with ability to deliver the One Suntory Vision. With full end-to-end control of the portfolio, including manufacturing, sales, and distribution Suntory Oceania will be one of the largest ANZ beverage groups in the region.
