In 1816 John Swire & Sons began operations in Liverpool, England as a trading company. In 1866 the company initiated a trade with China and established its first Far East office in Shanghai. Swire is currently one of Hong Kong's leading publicly quoted companies with worldwide interests in aviation, property development, marine services, beverage production & distribution, engineering, cold storage, agriculture, and a variety of trading companies.
In 1978, desiring to expand its soft drink business, Swire purchased the franchise rights for the Coca-Cola bottler in Salt Lake City, Utah. Over the ensuing years, Swire continued to purchase other surrounding franchised bottlers and distributors.
Together with all other Swire operating companies, Swire Coca-Cola, USA continues to hold fast to the traditions of integrity, commitment, hard work, and family unity that were first instilled by John Swire & Sons so many years ago. As a dedicated partner with The Coca-Cola Company, Swire Coca-Cola, USA will continue to achieve growth and success for years to come.

Esse Quam Videri-
Often reference as ‘EQV’ – is the Swire group and Swire family motto. It is a Latin proverb and literally translated, it means ‘To be, rather than to seem to be.’
