Est Cola was created following the termination of the company's contract with PepsiCo, for whom it had bottled and distributed Pepsi in Thailand since 1952.[2] The Pepsi-Sermsuk split created an opportunity for Coca-Cola to become the leading soda brand in the country.[3] PepsiCo had 48% market shares in Thailand before the split (and Coca-Cola 42%), but its shares dropped to 15% after the split. The split happened after PepsiCo tried and failed to take over Sermsuk.[4]
In 2013, Est signed a 2-year partnership with Manchester City F.C. to use the club's image for advertising purposes in Thailand.[5]
In 2014, ThaiBev acquired Est Cola from Sermsuk for THB1.56 billion. Sermsuk remained the manufacturer of the cola.[6]
