Born in the 1930s as The British Vitamin Products Company, Britvic began with a simple but powerful mission: making vitamins accessible to everyday families through fruit juices. What started as a chemist's side project in Chelmsford has evolved into one of the world's most dynamic soft drinks companies, now proudly part of the Carlsberg Group. The company's journey reflects a steadfast commitment to innovation and health, from those early vitamin-fortified juices to today's diverse portfolio of 39 beloved brands. This heritage shapes everything Britvic does - the understanding that great taste and wellbeing can go hand in hand, and that a beverage can be more than just refreshment, it can be a moment of joy in someone's day.
Today Britvic operates as a global leader in flavoured concentrates, with manufacturing and distribution spanning Great Britain, Brazil, Ireland, France, and export to over 100 countries worldwide. The company's portfolio reads like a who's who of beverage icons - Pepsi MAX, 7UP, Tango, Robinsons, J2O, and Gatorade stand alongside heritage brands like R. White's Lemonade, Teisseire, and Ballygowan. Beyond the brands, Britvic's purpose-driven culture centres on its 'Healthier People, Healthier Planet' sustainability strategy, embedded across sourcing, manufacturing, and community engagement. Whether it's reformulating recipes to reduce sugar, investing in regenerative agriculture, or pioneering sustainable packaging, the company approaches every decision with the same founding principle: doing good while doing well.
