Keurig Dr Pepper announced it has acquired a 96.22% stake in JDE Peet's, creating a major global coffee platform as part of its strategic transformation.
The deal combines KDP’s Keurig business with JDE Peet’s global coffee portfolio, with plans to eventually separate into two independent publicly traded companies: a North American beverage company and a global coffee-focused entity.
KDP also named Rafael Oliveira as CEO of the future Global Coffee Co., while current CEO Tim Cofer is expected to lead the standalone beverage business after the planned separation.
The transaction positions the combined coffee operations to scale globally across multiple brands, channels, and markets, with integration efforts focused on synergies, operational efficiency, and long-term growth.
