Japan’s Asahi Completes Acquisition of Independent Liquor

Japanese alcohol and soft drinks manufacturer Asahi has completed acquiring the Independent Liquor Group, which includes Independent Liquor in New Zealand and Independent Distillers in Australia, for NZ$1,534million (approximately 98 billion yen). The transaction is Asahi's biggest purchase as it looks overseas to offset declining domestic sales. In tandem with Asahi’s existing operations in Australia and New Zealand, through Schweppes Australia, the juice and water business acquired from P&N Beverages and Charlie’s Group, this latest acquisition will help consolidate its platform for future growth in the Oceania region.
