Suntory (Japan)

Suntory is best-known as Japan's leading beverage producer, controlling an extensive collection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. But like many of that country's leading companies, the group also has a huge portfolio of other interests ranging from pharmaceuticals and restaurants to resort development and florists. Still privately owned, it first introduced whisky into Japan in the 1930s, and now controls some 60% of the huge domestic market, importing around 70 spirits and 1,500 wines from 21 countries. More recently it has jumped aggressively into the beer sector, and also owns traditional Japanese-style restaurants in 17 major cities around the globe.
