Thirsty America? PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB) oversees parent PepsiCo's beverage businesses throughout the Americas. It is made up of two business units: Pepsi Beverages Company (PBC) and PepsiCo Beverages Americas (PBA). PBC oversees the bottling and distribution operations of its parent in North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico); PBA takes care of the Gatorade and Tropicana brands, as well as operations in Latin America. In 2010 PepsiCo purchased its two largest bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) and PepsiAmericas (PAS) and placed them under the management of PAB.
