ALLIED DOMECQ AND SPI GROUP AGREE STOLICHNAYA DISTRIBUTION
Allied Domecq PLC (Allied Domecq) and SPI Group (SPI) announce that they
have today signed contracts for Allied Domecq to market and distribute the
Stolichnaya vodka brand portfolio in markets within the European Union, Latin
America, Asia Pacific and Africa.
Stolichnaya is the world's leading Russian vodka brand. It will now become
one of Allied Domecq's core brands. Allied Domecq already markets and
distributes Stolichnaya on behalf of SPI in the USA, Canada, Mexico and the
Nordic region. The original US agreement runs until 31st December, 2010. The new
agreement will expire on the same date. Allied Domecq has the right of first
refusal for the renewal of both agreements.
Since Allied Domecq began US distribution in January, 2001, sales of Stolichnaya
have grown from 1.2 million cases to 1.9 million cases.
The Stolichnaya range of authentic Russian vodkas will be added to the Allied
Domecq brand portfolio on a phased market-by-market basis. This process
will start almost immediately and will continue over the next three years
with new markets being added as and when current distribution arrangements
with third parties expire. Allied Domecq expects that the acquisition of
new distribution markets for Stolichnaya will have a neutral effect on
earnings for the financial year 2005.
