Last year, the Hamburg-based spirits company BORCO was acquired by the international group “Stock Spirits Group”. Stock Spirits Group is one of the largest manufacturers and marketers of alcoholic beverages in Europe and aims to become the leading company for mainstream spirits in Europe by 2027. In addition to the acquisition of BORCO, three other European companies were also acquired by the corporate group. Currently, the group, founded in 1884, has nine branches in Europe and employs approximately 1,800 people. The group’s largest markets include Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. The Stock Spirits Group portfolio comprises over 70 brands that hold leading positions in their respective markets. In November 2021, Stock Spirits Group was acquired by CVC Capital Partners.

With a special focus on the Hamburg-based company BORCO and the German market, the group continues its expansion strategy and has implemented the next crucial step in integration: the company name has been adjusted to the group and is “STOCK SPIRITS” from now on. “The rebranding represents an important milestone in our integration with the Stock Spirits Group. We now operate under one name, and one mission of ‘Enhancing the flavours of life’,” said Nicolas Rampf, Managing Director of STOCK SPIRITS. “From the outset, it was important for us to consolidate our strengths and create synergies. Now we can act as a unified entity, advance integration even faster and better, and further expand our position in the industry. In addition, further investments in the German location are planned, which are an important part of the growth strategy,” he continued.

The corporate group looks optimistically to the future and is determined to further expand and strengthen its position in the German market.
