世界上最成功的消费品公司之一,在全球200多个国家和地区拥有14万雇员,2004年销售收入293亿美元,为全球第四大食品和饮料公司。连续两年被评为《财富》“全球最受赞赏的饮料公司”第一名。百事公司的前身百事可乐公司创建于1898年。百事可乐公司于1965年与世界休闲食品最大的制造与销售商菲多利(Frito-lay)公司合并,组成了百事公司。为了更好的发挥产品结构优势,将市场经营重点在核心品牌方面,百事公司曾于1997年10月作出重大战略调整,将拥有必胜客(Pizza Hut)、肯德基(KFC)和Taco Bell的餐厅从公司分离出去,使之成为一家独立的上市公司,即百胜全球公司(Tricon Global,现公司名为YUM!)。1999年,百事公司将其百事可乐罐装集团(PBG)分离上市,以便集中精力进行品牌建设和品牌营销。
百事在中国的历史可以追溯到中国实行改革开放之初。1981年,百事可乐与中国政府签约并在深圳兴建百事可乐灌装厂,成为首批进入中国的美国商业合作伙伴之一。时至今日,百事已在全国各地先后建立了40多家合资或独资的企业,总投资超过10亿美元,直接员工近10,000人,提供间接就业机会达150,000个。
