Top pop culture influencer, Seven-Up bottling company Ltd (SBC) is one of the largest independent manufacturer and distributor of the well-known and widely consumed brands of soft drinks in Nigeria. Its brands are Limpton, Pepsi, Mirinda, Seven Up, H2oh!, Mountain Dew and Aquafina bottled water- all produced from its 9 manufacturing plants, and marketed through over 200 distribution centres (depots) across the country.

As the dawn of a new day started for Nigerians on October 1st, 1960, the same was the roll out of the first bottle of 7Up bottle. That was the beginning of a shared history and heritage. Now over 60 years, 7Up has shown consistency and vibrancy as it celebrates every milestone with the country’s history.

A Lebanese, Mohammed El-khalil who came to Nigeria for the very first time in 1926 founded the company. Mohammed is the father of the company’s current chairman Faysal El-Khalil. The company metamorphosed from a very successful transport business [El-Khalil Transport] that nurses the ordinate ambition to diversify the then largest transport company in the entire West of Africa.

In the late 80s, the company established two more plants in Ibadan and Ikeja. In the early 1990s when Pepsi International took over 7Up international, it again got great opportunities to introduce the Pepsi brand to the Nigerian market.

Seven-Up Bottling Company has been creating value for the Nigerian market through the production of high-quality beverages for the Nigerian population to enjoy.

The brand has been a most admired and valued brand. Also a consistent feature in this annual top brand evaluation.

SevenUp as it is popularly called, currently has a work force of over 3500 employees.
With a vision to become the most admired and innovative company in Nigeria, the company has been on the path of living its mission of being ‘the beverage maker that inspires and refreshes a youthful lifestyle.’
