History and when Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. was founded
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. was established in 2018 following the merger between Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple Group, creating one of the largest beverage companies in North America. However, the origins of both companies date back much further.
Dr Pepper Snapple Group traces its history to the late 19th century with the launch of the Dr Pepper beverage in 1885, later expanding into various soft drink brands. Keurig Green Mountain, founded in 1981, became known for transforming the coffee market through its K-Cup pods and single-serve brewing systems.
In 2018, after Dr Pepper Snapple Group was acquired by JAB Holding—the European parent company of Keurig—the two organizations merged to form Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. The merger combined decades-old expertise in soft drinks with Keurig’s innovation in hot beverages and coffee systems.
Between 2020 and 2024, the company invested heavily in sustainability initiatives, including recycling programs for K-Cup pods, emission reduction efforts, and improved packaging efficiency. It also expanded its presence in functional beverages and grew its direct-to-consumer digital channels.
Keurig Dr Pepper continues to strengthen its market position through diversified products, technological innovation, and strategic expansion.
