PROFILE |

Nichols has been slaking thirsts for a century. The company sells hot beverages, including coffee, through vending and food service channels. Its Nichols Foods unit also produces Club cappuccino coffee and other foods. In addition to its Vimto fruit-flavored soft drinks, Nichols makes Cabana syrups for draught sodas, Indigo energy drinks, and Sunkist beverages under license; soft drinks ring up about a third of the firm's sales. Wrapping it all up, Nichols owns Stockpack, which packages dry ingredients for other food companies. Clients include UK retailers and wholesalers, and Nichols exports its products to more than 60 countries. John Nichols, grandson of the founder, and his family own about 20% of the firm.
