TOKYO -- Japanese brewer Asahi Group Holdings has set up a Taiwanese subsidiary to import and sell alcoholic beverages, taking greater control of how its products are sold there in a bid to reach more outlets and grow sales.
The Tokyo-based beverage producer established the wholly owned unit with 100 million New Taiwan dollars ($3.3 million) in capital. The subsidiary will handle Western liquors and Japanese shochu spirits as well as beer products, especially Asahi's mainstay Super Dry.
