Pernod Ricard

Pernod Ricard was formed in 1975 from the merger of two French companies (Pernod and Ricard) and has grown primarily through acquisitions and the launch/management of international brands. Notable operations include integrating brands such as Malibu and Kahlúa into the group portfolio, acquiring a majority stake in Del Maguey (mezcal) in 2017 and partnerships to expand distribution of Italian brands like Italicus. Today the group encompasses hundreds of brands and maintains an international commercial and production network.

The group's stated mission is to create conviviality through its brands, combining brand building, responsible supply-chain stewardship (from source to glass) and sustainability commitments. Pernod Ricard emphasizes social and environmental responsibility with dedicated roadmaps (2030 / 'Good Times from a Good Place') and values the concept of brand homes and consumer experience.

Global; headquarters (The Island) in Paris, France. Direct presence in dozens of countries (own sales teams) and distribution in over 150–160 countries.
