Fraser and Neave, Limited ("F&NL" or the "Group") had its origins, more than a century ago, in the spirited decisions of two enterprising young men, John Fraser and David Neave, who diversified from their printing business to pioneer the aerated water business in Southeast Asia in 1883. From a soft drinks base, F&NL ventured into the business of brewing in 1931, dairies in 1959 and glass bottle manufacturing in 1972, property development and management in 1990 and publishing & printing in 2000.
Today, F&NL is a leading Pan Asian Consumer Group with core expertise and dominant standing in the Food and Beverage, Property and Publishing & Printing industries. Leveraging on its strengths in marketing and distribution; research and development; brands and financial management; as well as years of acquisition experience, it provides key resources and sets strategic directions for its subsidiary companies across all three industries. F&NL owns an impressive array of renowned brands that enjoy market leadership across a mix of beer, dairies, soft drinks and beverages; residential properties, retail malls and serviced residences; as well as publishing and printing services.
Listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST), F&NL has shareholders’ funds of over S$5 billion and total assets employed of close to S$13 billion, respectively. In addition, the Group is present in over 20 countries spanning Asia Pacific, Europe and USA and employs more than 18,000 people worldwide.

A household name to many, F&N has established itself as a leader in the Food & Beverage arena in Singapore and Malaysia since the 1930s. Beyond soft drinks, it has successfully ventured into beer brewing, glass manufacturing as well as dairy products such as milk, soya milk, juice drinks, pasteurised tea and ice cream. At the same time, F&N is building more and more reputable brands, which are well recognised in the region.
The Group’s consistent dominance in market share across various products has led to F&N Soft Drinks being awarded the Singapore Brand Award for six consecutive years since 2002. Through established distribution networks and joint partnerships, F&N aims to reinforce its foothold in the Food & Beverage industry geographically across the Asia Pacific region, further expand its portfolio of brands and strengthen its Research and Development capabilities.
