Frederick Wildman & Sons said Chartreuse Diffusion, the distribution company of the historic spirit brand Chartreuse Liqueur, had joined its Shareholder Group and Board of Directors. Wildman has been the U.S. importer of Chartreuse Liqueur since 1989 and has partnered with Chartreuse Diffusion to further build one of the most unique and highly desired brands in bars and restaurants across the U.S.
“Chartreuse Diffusion becoming a shareholder further reinforces our top position among U.S. fine wine and specialty spirits importers,” Corrado Casoli, chairman of Frederick Wildman and of Gruppo Italiano Vini, Wildman’s principal shareholder. “Chartreuse Diffusion has done so much to help support the Carthusian order and their centuries-long tradition and we are proud to have them as part of our shareholder group.”
The Chartreuse company, located in the French Alps, has been making and selling Chartreuse for hundreds of years. Solely owned by the Carthusian monks, the mission is to contribute to sustaining the Carthusian order. This unique business model is based on service and long-term approach and enables them to take into account not only the economic growth but the social, local and environmental aspects.
Established in 1970, Chartreuse Diffusion has been tasked with managing the marketing and distribution for the Chartreuse Liqueur with the primary intent to further sustain the Carthusian order.
