Asahi acquires Allpress, maintains all full-time roles

Japanese beverage company Asahi has completed the acquisition of Allpress in its first venture into the coffee market.

The purchase of Allpress follows the beer company’s acquisition of Carlton and United Breweries (CUB) last June, further expanding its Australian portfolio.

CEO of Asahi Beverages Group, Robert Iervasi, said: “Asahi Beverages and Allpress are a great fit. We’ve been impressed by their premium branding, commitment to flavour, quality customer service and track record of growth – attributes that Asahi Beverages shares.”
