Chi has long been a beloved staple in Nigerian homes, celebrated for its premium juices, dairy beverages, and snacks. With its rich heritage of quality and innovation, it’s now entering a bold new chapter under the ownership of UAC of Nigeria Plc, a move that promises to reignite its growth trajectory.
From a humble beginning in 1980, CHI Limited grew into an FMCG powerhouse, delivering category leadership with flagship brands like Chivita, Nigeria’s No. 1 fruit juice and Hollandia, the market leader in evaporated milk and drinking yoghurt. Its product innovation includes being the first in Nigeria to launch lactose-free milk and the pioneer of Capri-Sun locally
CHI’s good reputation was further boosted by global backing when The Coca-Cola Company acquired it few years ago, which scaled its manufacturing capabilities, boasting the largest aseptic packaging line in Sub-Saharan Africa and earned a Gold-rated Great Place to Work® certification in 2024
In a strategic shift announced in July 2025, Coca-Cola agreed to sell CHI to UAC of Nigeria Plc, a leading Nigerian conglomerate with operations in food & beverages, real estate, and logistics, operates nine manufacturing facilities and employs around 5,000 people, making it well-positioned to further scale the CHI legacy.
Chivita has also been a frontrunner in corporate social responsibility (CSR), supporting initiatives in nutrition awareness, community health programs, youth empowerment, and sustainability. These efforts align with its mission to not only refresh but also enrich the lives of Nigerians.
Over the years, Chivita has received multiple awards and recognitions, including accolades for Best Juice Brand in Nigeria, Quality Excellence, and Brand of the Year, cementing its position as the country’s most trusted juice brand.
Through its diverse product offerings, commitment to quality, and strong brand heritage, Chivita has transcended being just a beverage brand to become a cultural symbol of refreshment, vitality, and everyday celebration in Nigeria.
