Asahi Beverages: version 3
Saved 2026-09-25 00:41 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the cleanup flag from review-def9d7: the ABN Lookup historical details for ABN 51 004 243 994 confirm the entity names Asahi Beverages Pty Ltd (from 6 Oct 2017), Schweppes Australia Pty Limited (27 Jan 2009 to 6 Oct 2017) and Associated Home Delivery Pty. Ltd. (up to 27 Jan 2009; the ABR record only begins in 1999, so no from date is given). Added the two former names as legal aliases with from/until, gave the current legal alias its from date, added AU-ABN:51 004 243 994 to register_ids, added the References row `abn` (ABN Lookup history), and put one cited sentence in About about the former names and the business names it still holds. Relations, establishments and the other references were left as they were: the ownership chain (Asahi Holdings (Australia) to Asahi Group Holdings) is sourced to 2024/2025 filings and still current. No Meta or Images section.. This is the current version.
