Two enterprising printers in Singapore, John Fraser and David Neave , decided to diversify their investments and go into soft drinks. Together, they formed the Singapore Straits Aerated Water Company, Southeast Asias first aerated bottled water producer and the forerunner of Fraser and Neave Limited. In 1936 F&N's soft drink division started to produce and bottle Coca-Cola in Singapore and Malaysia, becoming one of The Coca-Cola Companys earliest franchisees in Asia. 1992: Joint Venture Signed To cement the relationship between the two companies, a joint venture agreement was signed on May 11, 1992 to establish F&N Coca-Cola. The Coca-Cola Company had a 25% shareholding in the joint venture.
