Stock Spirits Group founded in 1884 in Trieste, Italy, is among the leading alcohol beverage companies in Europe. It offers portfolio of more than 70 brands, present in over 50 countries worldwide including the US and Canada.[2] As of November 2022 Stock Spirits Group is owned by the private equity CVC Advisors.[3]
History
The company's key brands, Polmos Lublin and Wódka Żołądkowa Gorzka were established in Poland in 1906 and 1950 respectively.[4] Oaktree Capital Management acquired Polmos Lublin in 2006 and merged it with Eckes & Stock, a business founded in the Czech Republic as Camis & Stock by Lionello Stock in Trieste in 1884, to create Stock Spirits Group in 2008.[5] The company was the subject of an initial public offering in October 2013.[6]
On 12 August 2021, Stock Spirits' board of directors accepted a £767 million takeover bid by private equity firm CVC Advisers, whereby shareholders would receive 377p per share. The deal is expected to complete by early 2022, if shareholders vote in favour. Shares rose above the offer price, suggesting some investors anticipated a rival bid.[7]
Operations
The company produces and sells mainly in Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.[8]
