Company Description

C&C Group (also known as Cantrell & Cochrane) is the beverage company behind such cider brands as Bulmers, Gaymer, and Magners, which are sold throughout the UK, Europe, and the US. In its home market (which accounts for the lion's share of its sales), C&C is the distributor for Volvic bottled water, as well as several beer brands (including Grolsch, Coors, Carling, and Tennent's). The company exited the soft drinks business in 2007 and sold its spirits and liqueurs division (which included the Carolans, Frangelico, Irish Mist, and Tullamore Dew brands) to William Grant & Sons for €300 million (about $393 million) in 2010.
