About
Tropicana is one of the world's most recognized orange juice brands, offering not-from-concentrate, freshly squeezed, and juice blend products in refrigerated and shelf-stable formats across North America, Europe, and select global markets. Founded in 1947 by Anthony Rossi in Bradenton, Florida (famous for pioneering flash pasteurization that allowed OJ to be shipped without freezing), Tropicana became a PepsiCo brand through its 1998 acquisition. In 2021, PepsiCo spun off Tropicana into a joint venture with PAI Partners, giving the European private equity firm majority ownership.
