Gruppo Campari is an Italian-based multinational producer of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The group holds a portfolio of over 40 brands marketed and distributed in more than 190 countries. The group's operations are split into three segments: spirits, wines and soft drinks.
Gruppo Campari is the sixth-biggest player worldwide in the branded spirits category,[2] operating principally in Italy, Brazil, the U.S. and in continental Europe. On April 8, 2009, Gruppo Campari announced its largest ever acquisition, the Wild Turkey brand from Pernod Ricard.[3]
The shares of the parent company, Davide Campari-Milano, are listed on the Italian Stock Exchange. The Garavoglia family owns 51% of the share capital of the company.
In September 2010 the company bought the Irish Mist, Carolans and Frangelico brands from William Grant for 129m euro. William Grant had only owned the brands for a number of months after paying 300m euro for these 3 brands as well as Tullamore Dew. Grants have retained the rights to Tullamore dew and will continue to produce the Irish spirits for Campari under a 10 year contract.[4]
