C&C Group plc CGPZF

CGPZF Company Overview

C&C Group plc is an Ireland-based manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of alcoholic beverages, with core operations focused on cider, beer, wine, spirits, and soft drinks. The company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry and is best known for its cider portfolio, including the flagship Bulmers brand in Ireland and Magners internationally. C&C also owns and distributes a broad portfolio of third-party beverage brands through its wholesale and distribution operations. Revenue is generated through branded beverage sales, hospitality distribution, and on-trade and off-trade beverage supply agreements across pubs, restaurants, retailers, and hospitality venues.

The company traces its origins to the historic Bulmers cider business founded in Clonmel, Ireland, in 1935. C&C Group plc was formally established following a 2004 demerger from the former Greencore Group. Since then, the company has expanded through acquisitions and strategic distribution investments, evolving from a predominantly Irish cider producer into a diversified beverage and hospitality distribution group operating across Ireland and the United Kingdom. Its strategic positioning is supported by established regional brands, vertically integrated distribution capabilities, and long-standing relationships in the licensed hospitality trade.
