Badel 1862 said it plans to start soon producing liqueur and brandy brands such as Pelinkovac, Travarica and Orahovac, among others, in the factory of Sibenik-based winery Vinoplod which it acquired in December via a capital increase.
With the takeover of these brands, Badel 1862 is further strengthening its position of a leader in the spirits production on the Croatian market, the company noted.
"We are in a cycle that aims to continue with the recovery and strengthening of the domestic alcoholic beverages production in which Croatia has a valuable tradition and knowledge. Following Vinoplod's takeover, the deal with Dalmacijavino was a logical continuation, thanks to which we merged the biggest part of the strong alcoholic drinks production and became a serious player on the international market as well," Badel 1862 said.
