What Uni-president Enterprises does

Taiwan's largest food and beverage maker — instant noodles, dairy, drinks, bread — plus a stake in the 7-Eleven Taiwan convenience-store chain.

Much of its sales come from retail, since President Chain Store, which runs 7-Eleven in Taiwan under licence, is consolidated into the group alongside its own food and beverage makers. A majority-owned listed arm in Hong Kong sells noodles and drinks in mainland China.

In one line: Taiwan's PepsiCo/General Mills, with a 7-Eleven stake.
