The 50:50 joint venture will change name to Peranel and will continue to be led by CEO Muriel Lienau. It will house over 30 global and beverage brands.
The Swiss multinational first announced plans to sell a stake in its waters division back in 2024. It is thought this was part of a plan to streamline its portfolio.
