About Pernod Ricard South Africa
In South Africa, Pernod Ricard has been building brands and creating conviviality for the past 29 years. After Nelson Mandela’s release and the subsequent birth of South Africa’s democracy, the lifting of international trade sanctions paved the way for renewed investment opportunities in the country. Pernod Ricard South Africa was established on the 8th of July 1994.
Over the past twelve years, we also established affiliates in Namibia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, and Mozambique. The relocation of our head offices from Cape Town to Johannesburg in January 2020 united Pernod Ricard South Africa with Pernod Ricard Sub-Saharan Africa to establish the Pernod Ricard Sub-Saharan Africa Management Entity. We employ just under 500 people across Africa, with around 300 employees based in South Africa.
Brand Portfolio
We provide brands of origin such as Jameson Irish whiskey, Ballantine’s, Chivas Regal, The Glenlivet Scotch whiskies, Absolut vodka, Beefeater gin, Inverroche gin, Martell cognac, Red Heart rum and G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët champagnes. Owning 16 of the Top 100 Spirits Brands, we hold one of the most prestigious and comprehensive brand portfolios in the industry.
Our brands stand for quality, terroirs, agricultural roots, social bonding, celebrations and of course conviviality. And that’s what we bring to South Africans – as long as it is consumed responsibly.
Nos marques
Jameson
Jameson Irish whiskey is a blended Irish whiskey. Triple distilled, twice as smooth, one of a kind. The number one Irish whiskey in the world.
Inverroche
Based in the Cape Floral region, Inverroche is best known for pioneering the use of fynbos in its gin, and it's these indigenous, aromatic botanicals that give the brand's gins their unique taste and full-bodied flavours.
Martell
Three hundred years of passion and audacity has built the legacy that is Martell, the oldest of the great cognac houses. Martell is a spirit that treasures taste and honours expertise and craftsmanship.
