Clint Wilfred & Sons – Good taste for rapidly expanding markets
Clint Wilfred & Sons Ltd brings a carefully selected portfolio of drinks to the Gulf region and Southeast Asia. The young company targets fast-moving products in the HORECA – Hotel/Restaurant/Café and Hotel/Restaurant/Catering market segment. It is run by Clint Wilfred, whose family has been in the spirit production and distribution business for over four decades.
One main focus of business activities lies in the United Arab Emirates. To offer new products on this rapidly growing market is a great challenge, as the demand for premium and niche products is constantly increasing and customers’ wishes are very diverse. The range, therefore, also includes non-alcoholic and carbonated soft drinks, still and sparkling water, ready-to-drink teas, energy sport drinks and other New Age drinks. There is also a strong focus on a wide selection of packaging sizes and formats.
One special product in the spirits product category is Count Cristo Blended Scotch Whisky, a premium blend with a high malt content from the Scottish Speyside region and with some lowland malt for added depth and character.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Count Cristo Blended Scotch Whisky.

APU – From small state monopoly to global player
APU is an abbreviation of the Mongolian words Arkhi (vodka), Pivo (beer) and Undaa (drinks). Since it was first established in 1924 as a state-owned enterprise with 14 employees, APU has developed to become a leading producer in the beverage industry with more than 800 skilled employees. The broad product range extends from vodka (more than 40% market share) to beer, milk, juice and soft drinks and is distributed to more than 6,000 sales points by the country’s largest distribution network. Exports are also on the increase.
APU was converted to a joint stock company in 1992 with 49% of the shares being listed on the new Mongolian stock exchange. Privatisation was completed in 2001 when the existing management took control of the oldest company in Mongolia. 51% of the state-owned shares were publicly auctioned off. By 2004, the company had developed a state-of-the-art brewery and vodka distillery with an output of 6 to 8 million litres per year – the result of an investment programme totalling 45 million USD. The distillation process has been fully automated and computer-controlled since 2009 with a daily production of 15,000 litres. Further expansions took place in 2010 and the capacity currently totals 10 million litres. The technology and distillation equipment was supplied by leading companies in Germany, Italy and Austria.
APU is renowned for producing the purest vodka from the most refined wheat on the extensive steppe land areas of Mongolia. Spring water taken from a depth of 179 metres adds the finishing touch. Nine vodka brands are produced at the country’s biggest distillery, two of them specifically for the global market: Chinggis Khan and Soyombo. This year again, both won over the jury at the World Spirits Award: the Grain Vodka Chinggis Khan (Spirit of the Year 2014 & World Spirits Award 2014) received double gold and the Grain Vodka Soyombo was awarded gold.
