Sales Management Trainees for PEPSI

The Pepsi-Cola story began in a drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina, USA in 1896. Caleb Davis Bradham, a pharmacist, wanted to create a fountain drink that was delicious and healthful in aiding digestion and boosting energy. As did most pharmacies during that time, Bradham’s drugstore offered soda fountain where the small-town clientele would meet to socialize. Bradham’s store even featured a kind of primitive jukebox, which for a nickel would entertain the listener with the latest violin or piano selections.

John Clarkin, a native of Minnesota, USA who came with the American forces at the close of World War II, brought Pepsi-Cola to the Philippines. He became president and general manager of Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of the Philippine Islands Ltd. upon acquiring a franchise to bottle Pepsi in the Philippines on October 16, 1946.

In 1985, Pepsi Philippines became a Filipino corporation when the Escaler-led Pepsi-Cola Distributors of the Philippines Inc. acquired its franchising and bottling rights.

Premier Beverages — led by Luis Lorenzo Sr. and the AFP-RSBS — assumed majority ownership of the firm in 1989, and gave it a new name: Pepsi Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI). Under the Lorenzo’s, PCPPI introduced the plastic returnable bottle — the first of its kind in the industry — and produced its first house brand in Premier bottled water.

2002 is an important milestone in PCPPI’s history as it was the year when PCPPI registered dramatic business growth and made a turnaround. In 2004, the company introduced non-carbonated beverage to the market transforming itself into a total beverage company.

In 2006, PCPPI was named as the Best Bottler of the Year for Asia by PepsiCo Inc. In 2008, PCPPI had successfully launched its initial public offering.
