Suntory is a Japanese brewing, distilling and soft drinks manufacturing group. It was started by Torii Shinjiro, who first opened his store Torii Shoten in Osaka on 1 February 1899 to sell imported wines. The store became the Kotobukiya company in 1921, and in 1963 Kotobukiya changed its name to Suntory, taken from the name of the whisky it produces. On 1 May 2014, Suntory completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Beam for $83.50 per share. As a result of the transaction, Beam was renamed Beam Suntory.
Through its Lucozade Ribena Suntory division, it also offers a number of recognisable soft drink brands including Lucozade and Orangina.
