Abstract:
Lipton is the world's best-known and biggest-selling branded tea and one of the major icons in Unilever’s global portfolio. Beneath its genteel exterior lies a surprisingly powerful product. It is the company's #2 food and beverage brand with sales of around E2.4bn in 2002. Founder Thomas Lipton was the son of a humble shopkeeper who transformed himself into a grocery millionaire before he was 30, establishing tea plantations and food factories worldwide. Now over a century later, Lipton is by far the dominant tea brand in its biggest market of its native country, US, as well as a leading name in prepared foods and cooking aids; and is a household brand in over another 100 territories worldwide.
