African & Eastern (A&E as it is popularly known) was established over 60 years ago, with a license to Import, Distribute and Retail Alcohol Brands in the Emirate of Dubai. This is a privileged and a highly responsible role, as it is one of the only two Companies engaged in this sector. Today, the business has expanded to cover most of the Gulf Region with customers in over 20 countries. Ownership of the business is a joint venture between prominent investors and AB Inbev, world’s largest Brewer. AB Inbev is the managing share holder.

The Company is a multi-category  Distributor of Alcoholic Beverages, with a large portfolio of Beer, Spirits, Wine & Champagne. A&E is the Distributor for world renowned Brands and partners with some of the largest Beverage companies  – Diageo, Remy Cointreau, Beam Suntory, Proximo, Jagermeister, Carlsberg, Asahi, Accolade, Constellation, Piper Heidseck just to name a few. The complete portfolio from ABI Inbev (Corona, Stella Artois, Beck’s, Hoegaarden, Leffe & Budweiser) is also distributed by the Company.

In 2008, A&E also set up a subsidiary, Gulf Beverages FZE, to channel all of its Travel Retail and Duty Free business. Through that subsidiary, the Group is the largest supplier of Alcoholic Beverages (by volume and value) to Gulf’s Travel Retail Industry. While the focus is in the Gulf, the customer list reaches out to Africa and Indian Sub-continent. Practically, every large Duty Free and Airline in the Region is a customer, in some form or other.

The Group leads the market through excellence in Marketing, Supply Chain and Customer Service. People and the A&E values are at the core of its success.

• Ahlgrens Bilar

For most genuine car enthusiasts, 1953 stands out as a milestone in human history. This was the year when the first mass produced Ahlgrens bilar car-shaped foam candy rolled out of the factory in Gävle (Sweden), under the greatest of secrecy. Most of the factory workers were gripped by this momentous occasion, and stories spread throughout the community about these strange and wonderful automobiles in shades of pink, green and off white. Today, Ahlgrens Bilar is the worlds’ top-selling car by far. And despite their somewhat low resale value, new generations are continuously discovering their beautifully timeless design, their tasteful profile and their position as the number one classic in the world of automotive sports.

In 1975, Paul Ricard and Jean Hémard founded Pernod Ricard. The two partners set out to take on the world, with the ambitious goal of one day becoming the global leader in the sector. Pernod Ricard is now the world’s second-largest wine and spirits company and recently established its 85th direct affiliate, in Mozambique. Alexandre Ricard, Paul Ricard’s grandson and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since February 2015, has reaffirmed the Group’s strategy. He has established two priorities to reach this goal: top line growth – which he calls “the mother of all battles” – and instilling a winning mindset in each of the company’s 18,500 employees. “My key goal isn’t change but acceleration.”, he told analysts and investors at Capital Market Day, on 2 June 2015. In an increasingly competitive environment, the Group has established a new model that places consumers at the center of its entire strategic approach. The model is based on the idea that consumers are no longer loyal to a single brand, but rather to a variety of brands, choosing one that matches each occasion.

Faithful to their role as “Créateurs de Convivialité”, the people at Pernod Ricard aim to ensure that each of the company’s brands are present to enhance these convivial occasions. To support this new strategic model, Pernod Ricard has set out to reshape the fundamentals that underpin its success: a complete portfolio of Premium brands; a strategy based on Premiumization, growth and innovation; a unique corporate culture; and a decentralized organization. To bring this plan to fruition, four ‘Essentials’ – Operational Excellence, Talent Development, Sustainability & Responsibility and Route to market/Consumer – and four ‘Accelerators’ – Portfolio Management, Digital Acceleration, Innovation, Premiumization and Luxury – form the capstone of the model, which is applied to all the Group’s markets.

The Travel Retail segment, which consists primarily of airport shops, remains strategic for the Group. Travel Retail is the largest retail market for prestige brands and remains a critical brand-building channel for Pernod Ricard. Prospects for growth are bright, with the number of passengers projected to double in the next 15 years to seven billion travelers. The Group has taken a number of outstanding actions in this area over the past few months. Pernod Ricard is the world leader in Travel Retail, with market share of nearly 40%. Travel Retail is Pernod Ricard’s third-largest market worldwide.
