PepsiCo has signed a deal to take over the distribution of Rockstar Inc’s energy drinks in Germany from 1 July.

The soft drinks giant has already taken over the distribution of Rockstar energy products in the US and Canada, and said today (5 March) that the additional partnership in Germany is “extremely promising”.

“Securing distribution with PepsiCo Deutschland has been an important milestone for Rockstar energy drink‘s international expansion,” said Zach Lambakis, executive vice president for global business development at Rockstar. “We are thrilled to be in a distribution system we already know and trust which allows us to focus on building the brand globally. Our alignment with PepsiCo will help ensure we position Rockstar for category leadership.”

While the PepsiCo Neu Isenburger Group will be responsible for the distribution of Rockstar Energy Drink, the Rockstar’s Bochum office, in liaison with US headquarters, will control product marketing including sponsoring and public relations.

“For 2010 we have strong product innovation in the pipeline to successfully increase our present portfolio of five different variations,” said Rockstar country manager Alexander Kirsch.

In February, UK soft drinks group AG Barr extended its sales and distribution contract with Rockstar for its namesake energy drink in the UK and Ireland. The two firms have signed a ten-year deal.
