Baghdad Soft Drinks Co
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baghdad Soft Drinks Co (ISX: IBSD on the Iraq Stock Exchange) is a Soft drinks Bottling company in Iraq. It is the company that has the exclusive licence to sell Pepsi products in Iraq.
PepsiCo International's franchise agreement authorises Baghdad Soft Drinks Company to produce and distribute PepsiCo's Pepsi-Cola, Seven-Up and Mirinda soft drink brands.
Many bottling companies are franchisees of corporations such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo who distribute the beverage in a specific geographic region.
It has a staff of ~1,400, and the 2004 agreement with pepsi is expected to create some 2,000 new jobs at Baghdad.
Iraqi Pepsi is currently selling about 7.2 million bottles a month, though this number drops subject to power outages.[1]
