Orangina Schweppes is the number three player in the European soft drinks market, with annual sales volumes of over 1.5 billion litres. The company markets, bottles and distributes a number of carbonated soft drinks, stills and other soft drinks through a unique portfolio of leading products that includes iconic brands such as Orangina, Schweppes, Oasis, Trina and Pulco, strong national brands such as Pampryl in France, La Casera in Spain or Rosinka in Ukraine, and niche brands Champomy, Gini, Canada Dry, Vida and Pink Fish. Orangina Schweppes' products are sold in over thirty countries, with the majority of total turnover concentrated in France and Iberia.

Over the course of Lion’s investment, Orangina Schweppes achieved above-market financial and operational performance through Lion's reinvigoration of the company’s core brands, improvements in its supply chain and the acquisitions of certain complementary branded soft drinks. In 2009, the company had approximately 2,500 employees and generated sales of over €1.0 billion. In November 2009, Suntory Holdings acquired Orangina Schweppes from co-owners Lion Capital and The Blackstone Group.
