s the exclusive bottler for Pepsi in Nigeria, SevenUp Bottling Company puts products in the hands of millions of Nigerians every year. Nigeria represents one of the largest markets for Pepsi globally, with SevenUp Bottling often vying neck-and-neck with Coca-Cola for market dominance. The company bottles a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages including Pepsi, 7UP, Mirinda, Mountain Dew and Teem.
Over the past few years, SevenUp Bottling has embarked on a comprehensive modernisation journey, navigating unique market challenges and leveraging technology to develop its offering.
Established in 1960, SevenUp Bottling Company has grown to encompass nine factories, one head office and several co-packing operations, employing approximately 5,000 people.
By 2018 however, the company found that its IT infrastructure had fallen behind global industry standards and was hindering operational efficiency and market responsiveness.
