In September 1958, American Beverage Company Limited acquired W. W. Haydon & Sons Ltd in Queenstown. The newly acquired company was tasked with bottling American beverage brands such as Pepsi and Mirinda. Subsequently, it merged with American Bottlers, another entity engaged in the bottling of American branded beverages. The combined efforts of the two companies resulted in rapid success, leading to expansion through the acquisition of Lincoln Springs Beverages in Port Lincoln, Crystal Cordial Company in Port Augusta, and Fergusons Beverages in Mount Gambier in 1960. Soon after, Pepsi Co acquired American Beverage Company, with a focus on exclusively bottling Pepsi Co branded drinks. The company was later sold to Schweppes Australia in 1967, which continued to produce Pepsi drinks. |
