History

In 1966, Edmond Lombardi began creating his sparkling fruit juice, Appletiser, by blending fruit juice with carbonated water. The business was based in Elgin valley of the Western Cape, South Africa. Exports began in 1969 to two archipelagos: the Canary Islands (Spain) and Japan.[1]

In 1979, The Coca-Cola Company purchased a 50% stake in Appletiser.Шаблон:Fact Red and White Grapetiser were launched in 1981. In 1982, Appletiser was launched in the United Kingdom as "Appletise" due to complaints from the owners of the Tizer brand of soft drink.[2] 1995 brought two limited edition citrus flavours which were "Orangetise" and "Lemontise".

In 2001, after lengthy negotiations with AG Barr, makers of Tizer, the 'r' was added to the UK branding to allow the Appletiser brand name, packaging and positioning to be standardised internationally.[2]

In 2016, the Appletiser brand was sold to The Coca-Cola Company by SABMiller, and the Tiser brands are now manufactured under licence by Appletiser South Africa (ASA), which is part of the bottling operations of Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA).[3]

In May 2017, CCBSA announced it had sold 17.5% of its shareholding in Appletiser SA to African Pioneer Group , an additional 4% was sold to Sipho Excellent Madlala, a 20-year veteran of CCBSA. The value of the respective stakes was never disclosed.[4]
