With Emperador’s global footprint across over 100 countries in six continents, the company has been able to navigate through the ongoing challenges brought about by the pandemic. Their iconic and well-diversified brandy and whisky portfolio, plus strong management teams all over the world, all helped to bring an impressive performance.

The first quarter of 2021 saw a continued robust performance of Emperador’s global business. Sales in most markets are returning. Leading the growth are the Americas, the UK, and the rest of Europe, and Asia. Sales are particularly good in China.

The current environment has shifted consumer behavior differently in various markets. The company has managed to adapt and grow with consumer and economic movements. We are optimistic that the gains we have achieved will lead the company to a new phase of growth. We expect the situation to improve and return to some level of normalcy towards the end of the year.”
