Suntory Oceania's first year lays the foundation for future growth

During its first year of operation, Suntory Oceania has rapidly established itself as a major player in the Ready-To-Drink (RTD) category, now ranking as the #2 RTD supplier nationally*. Strong performance across its non-alcohol portfolio has also contributed to this momentum, with Suntory Oceania helping drive growth in the energy and RTD coffee categories.

Over the last 12 months, the business has launched 21 new products and increased production by 36% in 2025, while reducing its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. The momentum reflects a strong first year delivering on Suntory Oceania’s ambition to create an end-to-end, multi-beverage business across Australia and New Zealand. It now has a portfolio of more than 40 brands supported by local manufacturing, with a $400 million carbon-neutral manufacturing facility in Queensland and a $13 million inbound warehouse in New Zealand.

Dai Minato, Suntory Beverage & Food Oceania CEO, said the business had spent its first year laying the foundations for the next phase of growth across Australia and New Zealand. “We see significant opportunity ahead of us, partnering with our customers and our communities, guided by our commitment to Growing for Good and making a positive contribution for generations to come.”

Ashish Gandham, Managing Director of Suntory Global Spirits Oceania, said the business is well positioned to meet changing consumer needs across a broad range of occasions.

“As consumer needs continue to evolve, we are well positioned to support customers across both off-premise and on-premise channels.

“Whether it’s convenient RTD and energy options for everyday occasions or premium spirits for more special moments, our focus is on working alongside customers to deliver the right mix of products, formats and experiences for consumers across every occasion,” Gandham said.

Suntory Oceania’s investment extends beyond commercial performance. Delivering on its values of Growing for Good and Giving Back to Society, the business has deepened partnerships across Australia and New Zealand to support the communities in which it operates. This has included announcing long-term partnerships with the Dylan Alcott Foundation and Recreate NZ, to expand opportunities for young adults living with disability, and multiple investments in water sustainability including a $1 million research partnership with Griffith University’s Australian Rivers Institute (ARI) for critical research that will help inform how water can be protected for future generations.
