Company Overview

Zest-O Corporation is the leading food and beverage Filipino company competing
with the multinational companies. It has always kept with the ideals of providing
quality products at a reasonable price to its clients.
History
The said printing press was engaged into making cellophane wrappers of biscuits and candies and stayed
20 years as a business. Then in 1979, while touring around Europe, Mr. Yao came to discover the
packaging format called Doypack in one of the exhibits. He bought the machine and tried to market the
idea of using the Doypack format to local juice manufacturers in the Philippines but nobody seemed
interested. He himself used the said equipment and started preparing a fruit juice drink in his own
kitchen.
The company was established as SEMEXCO Marketing Corporation, soon after it adopted the name ZestO because of its fame. In 1980, Zest-O juice drink was launched and soon, it became a big-hit in the
Philippines and eventually capturing 80% of the market for ready-to-juice drinks. Soon, other flavors
were introduced to the market such as orange flavor are mango, grape, pineapple, strawberry, guyabano
(sour soup), apple, calamansi, mango-orange, mango-calamansi and mango-lemon lime flavors.
Yao soon launched other brands including juice brands including Sun-glo Juice Drink, Big 250 Juice
Drink, and Plus!which exported to other neighboring countries in Asia like China, Korea, and Singapore
and in some parts of America and Europe, Tita Frita Tomato and Banana Catsup, Beam Toothpaste, One
Ice Tea, and Tekki Yaki Udon.
