About the owner: Campari Group
Campari Group is a publicly listed company headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, founded in 1860. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control, and it is listed as BIT: CPR.
Campari Group traces to a Milan café in 1860 where Gaspare Campari made the bitter aperitif that carries his name. It grew from one product into the sixth-largest spirits group in the world by buying brands rather than building them, and the Garavoglia family retains control through a Dutch holding structure.
