Tropicana is the world's leading producer and marketer of branded fruit juices, founded in 1947 by Anthony T. Rossi, an Italian immigrant, in Bradenton, Florida. Rossi revolutionized the juice industry by developing a pasteurization process that allowed fresh-tasting orange juice to be shipped across the United States without refrigerated trucks. Tropicana was the first company to transport fresh juice in refrigerated ships and tanker trucks, creating the infrastructure for the modern juice industry. The brand was acquired by PepsiCo in 1998, and in 2022, PepsiCo sold Tropicana and its other juice brands to PAI Partners, a French private equity firm, while retaining a 39% stake in the newly formed joint venture called Tropicana Brands Group. The brand's product lineup includes Tropicana Pure Premium, Trop50, Tropicana Essentials, and various fruit juice blends. Tropicana generates approximately $3 billion in annual retail sales and is available in over 60 countries. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Tropicana remains the top-selling orange juice brand in the United States and a symbol of premium fruit juice quality worldwide.
