Bockmeyer: Customised product formulations and distillates
Bockmeyer Kellereitechnik GmbH has been an established supplier to distilleries in Germany, Europe and the USA for over 40 years. In addition, customers are advised on initial equipment and extensions to their technical systems. The company relies on many established manufacturers to configure suitable systems to meet customer requirements. True to the slogan ‘everything from a single source’, the range includes not only machines but also flavours, botanicals, consumables and bottles of all kinds, many of which are available on demand. Moreover, individual, tailormade product recipes and distillates for direct sale are developed in an in-house distillery run by an employee. In addition, a large selection of ready-to-sell spirits, liqueurs and vinegars in large containers has been available for many years.
In 2026, the gin series of Bockmeyer Lyndl Gin and Bockmeyer Citra Gin was expanded to include Bockmeyer P3PP3R & RSE. This impresses consumers with a fine floral note and complements the existing gins with a focus on lavender or citrus flavours. In 2026, Bockmeyer’s own premium vodka will also be available for the first time, with a subtle hint of pepper.
At the World Spirits Award, Gold went to Bockmeyer Gin P3PP3R & RSE and Bockmeyer Premium Vodka, and Silver to Bockmeyer Citra Gin and Bockmeyer Lyndl Gin.

MBG International Premium Brands – Brands with added value
“We Love Liquids.” This slogan has accompanied MBG on its worldwide path of success since it was founded in 1993 under the name P.O.S. Marketing + Vertrieb GmbH: Strong brands have been established around the world in nearly 60 countries, with innovative own brands, renowned retail brands, great ideas and a lot of energy. With over 250 employees, the MBG Group currently generates over € 200 million and, every year, more than a million hectolitres are produced. The portfolio in Germany includes 12 own brands and 6 retail brands (from non-alcoholic drinks to low proof drinks to wines & spirits) for 90,000 customers.
“Our recipe for successful brands is the mixture of passion, conviction and knowledge of the market. If all goes well, names and products become new worlds which consumers love. Success is not always predictable, which means that courage is needed above all. The right moment has to be found and hard work put in, just like with a hit single: some are one hit wonders while others become classics.” Little can be added to this definition from Managing Director Andreas W. Herb. From the MBG Group headquarters in Paderborn, a great deal of expertise makes successful brands, tailored to the respective target group and the market segment. Many brands that are well known on shop shelves and in the gastronomy sector have played a role in the history of the company.
Participation in the World Spirits Award yielded gold for Dos Mas Nasty Nuts Shot.

Stock Polska – Prestige products with history
Polmos Lublin (known today as Stock Polska) was founded by the industrialist Emil Plage in Lublin in 1906 and was able to survive both world wars and the communist state leadership. The company was nationalised in 1948 and re-privatised in 2001. It traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange until 2005 and was sold in 2006. The new owners, Oaktree Capital Management, purchased the spirits division from Eckes Stock in 2007 and thereby laid the foundations for the current Stock Spirits Group. The company has its headquarters in Luxembourg, its service centre in Great Britain and its production sites in the Czech Republic, Italy and Poland.
Stock dates back to the year 1884 when Lionello Stock founded a beverages business in Trieste. He purchased a distillery in 1920 in what is currently part of the Czech Republic with the aim of tapping into new markets. This was followed by distilleries, bottling plants and warehouses in Italy, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Yugoslavia. In the 1920s, Stock was one of the biggest companies of its kind in Europe.
After an absence of 70 years, Stock returned to Poland and began to manufacture at the historic site of Lublin, 150 kilometres south-east of Warsaw. Intensive investment led to the creation of the most modern distillery in Poland and a leadership position on the vodka market. Poland’s most popular flavoured vodka is produced here: Zoladkowa Gorzka.
Lots of Stock products are produced by traditional recipes. These classical brands appeal to connoisseurs all over the world. In return, work is constantly being done on innovations that correspond to modern tastes and new drinking cultures. Quality standards are constantly upheld in both areas, of course.
The quality of the products was recognised at the World Spirits Award with a gold medal for the Orkisz Spelt Vodka.
