CEDC International

What CEDC International does

CEDC International Sp. z o.o. is a Polish alcoholic beverage producer and distributor, headquartered in Oborniki with corporate offices in Warsaw, and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Maspex Group. The company runs two modern production facilities in Poland and commands an estimated 46% volumetric share of the Polish vodka market (NielsenIQ, w40 2021–w39 2022), selling more than 175 million liters of alcohol and producing over 500 million bottles of vodka annually. Its portfolio combines owned Polish heritage brands — principally Żubrówka (bison grass vodka) and Soplica — with exclusive Polish distribution rights for a broad set of international premium spirits including Glenfiddich, Tullamore D.E.W., Wild Turkey, Rémy Martin, Jägermeister, Aperol, Campari, Hendrick's, Sailor Jerry and Mount Gay, alongside a wine book (Carlo Rossi, Barefoot, Apothic, Dark Horse) and prosecco (Prosecco Doc Lamia), totalling more than 100 recognizable brands.

The business model is a multi-channel beverage distribution and production operation. CEDC serves four structurally distinct customer segments — individual consumers via Polish retail and wholesale, B2B corporate clients (gifting, weddings, events), HoReCa establishments (hotels, restaurants, caterers) through regional field-sales managers, and Duty-Free operators across all commercial Polish airports. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sale of bottled alcoholic beverages, with no disclosed SaaS, subscription, or licensing pricing; product pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set through B2B account terms. The company exports to more than 70 countries through local distributor partnerships, operates brand-specific social media presence across the international portfolio (Wild Turkey, Tullamore D.E.W., Grant's, Monkey Shoulder, Campari, Aperol, Rémy Martin and others), and runs responsible-drinking CSR campaigns. CEDC is privately held, structured as a Polish Sp. z o.o., with no public ownership, funding rounds, or AI/ML technology stack disclosed in the source data.
