Introduction
Pernod Ricard Mexico was founded in 2006 and is one of the top five distributors in the Mexican spirits industry, with a 7.2% market share.
It has a strong presence in both off-trade (retail outlets) and on-trade (hotels, bars and restaurants) channels, particularly in the whisky, gin and vodka categories, as well as in the flagship brands of our premium tequila and mezcal portfolio, known as House of Tequila.
Pernod Ricard México operates under a structured business model consisting of two companies: Market and Brand. The Market Company, named Pernod Ricard México, is part of the EMEA-LATAM region (Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America), which includes countries with similar consumption trends within the spirits industry. Thus, the Market Company is responsible for the distribution and commercialisation of the international brand portfolio in Mexico and heads the North LatAm business division, comprising Central America, the Caribbean, and the Andean region.
They work closely with the Brand Company, House of Tequila, tequilas and mezcals from Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico.
As they state “Through these two divisions, the company remains highly competitive, transforming the industry and thus, conquering convivial moments in Mexico”

BIG ALCOHOL IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Whisky brands are very reliant on a small number of heavy, and increasingly ageing, consumers, to provide the majority of volume [...] in the longer term we had to attract more younger drinkers—the heavy- using loyalists of tomorrow [to avoid] the potentially disastrous implications of losing heavy drinkers”.
“If Miller Lite was to be a large profitable brand we had to attract these young heavy drinkers”.
To the extent [that laws or regulations or actions against us to substantially curtail the consumption of alcohol, including beer] gain traction, they could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. For example, the European Union published its Europe Beating Cancer Plan. As part of the plan, by the end of 2023, the European Union has indicated it will issue a proposal for mandatory health warnings on alcohol beverage product labels."
