In 2000, Whitman Corp., a Pepsi bottler, purchased PepsiAmericas and took the acquired company's name.[1] Whitman was originally founded as the Illinois Central Railroad. It later diversified out of railroads and into Pepsi bottling, going by the names Illinois Central Industries in 1962, IC Industries in 1975 and Whitman Corp. in 1988.[2]
