Earlier today, Gruppo Campari announced its planned takeover of Marnier-Lapostolle. Here, just-drinks takes a closer look at the French company.

  • The group’s main bottling and packaging site is located in Normandy
  • Marnier-Lapostolle also owns a real estate property in St Jean Cap Ferrat in France, which will be sold off as part of Campari’s acquisition

  • In the 12 months to the end of December, Marnier-Lapostolle posted sales of EUR151.7m, with EBITDA coming in at EUR30.8m

Asia has also performed well in recent years, leading to greater investment in China, Hong Kong, India and Vietnam
