Pascual Boing is a Mexican soft drink maker mostly known for its fruit flavored beverages marketed under the Pascual, Boing! and Lulú brands. The enterprise was begun in 1940 and successfully held against the entrance of foreign competitors in the Mexican market. However, continued labor disputes led to a strike in 1982, which ended in 1985 with the workers obtaining the right to take over the company, running it as a cooperative. Since then, it has remained a profitable business although it has lost market share in Mexico, due to competition from Coca-Cola and Pepsi. This has prompted the company to protest unfair practices which exclude it from retail venues as well as look abroad to new markets, especially in the United States. it is also one of the sponsors for many Consejo Mundial de

dbo:abstract
  • La Cooperativa Pascual Boing, también conocida como Pascual, S.A., es una empresa mexicana, fundada en el año 1940 en la Ciudad de México. Esta empresa produce bebidas envasadas con marcas como Boing!, Pascual, Lulú, entre otras. Las instalaciones ocupan dos manzanas de la ciudad donde se fundó la empresa y emplea a más de 2000 trabajadores en la Ciudad de México. Estos dos bloques y los pozos de agua en ellos, han sido el centro de una disputa legal desde el año 1980 (42 años a la actualidad). Después de una huelga que duró tres años y su posterior quiebra en la década los años 1980, los obreros la adquirieron convirtiéndola en una cooperativa. La cooperativa Pascual Boing es considerada por diversos sectores de izquierda como ejemplo de un movimiento obrero exitoso, debido a que es una de las pocas cooperativas que tiene presencia en gran parte de México y en algunas ciudades estadounidenses y centroamericanas.​ Actualmente tiene plantas en algunos estados, sin embargo sus dos plantas históricas se encuentran en la Ciudad de México. Su principal producto es una línea de bebidas no carbonatadas que contienen jugo o pulpa de fruta. Los sabores disponibles incluyen: mango, tamarindo, fresa, uva, manzana, naranja, guayaba, piña, guanábana, y durazno. También produce una línea de bebidas carbonatadas. La empresa consume alrededor de 20 mil toneladas de fruta anualmente y 24 mil toneladas de azúcar.​ A finales del año 2005, ante una solicitud de la organización no gubernamental Greenpeace, Pascual Boing certificó que en sus procesos no utiliza productos transgénicos.​​ (es)
