The event coincided with the third anniversary of PBC’s flagship brand, American Cola.

Addressing journalists, Marketing Manager Naji Awada said the forum was organised to appreciate distributor partners and reinforce the company’s commitment to supporting them with quality service, products, and results.

“The more our distributors support us, the more we will support them. Their contribution is a major part of our success in Nigeria,” Awada said, highlighting PBC’s focus on delivering high-quality yet affordable beverages to the Nigerian market.

PBC currently produces four brands: American Cola, Reactor, Planet, and Bubble Up. Awada noted that distributors play a critical role in ensuring that these products reach consumers nationwide.

Deputy Managing Director Lokman Jouni also spoke at the forum, outlining the company’s vision and legacy in Nigeria.

“Our legacy is global, not just within Nigeria. We are committed to delivering high-end quality at affordable prices, particularly to less privileged communities. Our products are tested and controlled by laboratories in Atlanta and Paris, ensuring compliance with Nigerian and international standards,” he said.

Jouni further emphasised the growth potential of the Nigerian fast-moving consumer goods sector. “Nigeria is a land of opportunities. Our people appreciate quality, and as long as we maintain high standards, the sky is the limit,” he added.
