Fever-Tree is a publicly traded company, Fever-Tree Drinks plc, based in the United Kingdom. In January 2025, Molson Coors acquired an 8.5% stake in Fever-Tree, making it the company’s second largest shareholder globally[1][2][3]. Although Molson Coors does not own a majority of the company, this minority stake is significant and forms the basis of a strategic partnership, particularly for Fever-Tree’s U.S. business. Through this deal, Molson Coors also received exclusive commercialization rights for Fever-Tree’s U.S. portfolio, including sales, production, and distribution[4][5].
The remaining ownership of Fever-Tree is held by other institutional and individual shareholders, as is typical for publicly listed companies. Fever-Tree was founded in London in 2004 by Tim Warrillow and Charles Rolls, who have both played prominent roles in the company’s history[5].
