Grand Marnier is an orange liqueur made by blending bitter orange distillate with cognac, created in 1880. Campari acquired the family-controlled business in 2016 for about €684 million after a long courtship of its shareholders. Using cognac rather than neutral spirit as the base is what separates it from triple sec and from Cointreau.

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.
