Britvic Soft Drinks has a long and rich history that extends back to Victorian England and further. The British Vitamin Products Company - from which Britvic takes its abbreviated name - was founded in the mid-nineteenth century in the market town of Chelmsford in Essex. The company was then little more than a home business run from a chemist's shop, not unusual for a soft drinks producer of the time. Soon the company was producing all kinds of originally concocted soft drinks, including lemonades, mineral waters, tonics and non-alcoholic ales.
 

Today Britvic are producing J2O, Pepsi, 7Up, R Whites, Tango and many, many more. Striving to incorporate innovation into every aspect of the business – from mould-breaking advertising for products like Tango to advanced manufacturing and distribution systems. Britvic upholds a proactive environmental policy overseen by a dedicated working group. It ensures that we meet the high standards expected of a company acknowledged to be amongst the U.K's most environmentally responsible.

Our distribution, manufacturing and waste disposal policies are under constant review to guarantee that we are energy efficient, dispose of our waste carefully and minimise emissions into the atmosphere. Current priorities are the recycling of packaging, controlling litter levels and developing a culture that encourages individual responsibility.
