COFRIGO Distribution

What COFRIGO Distribution does

COFRIGO Distribution is a privately-held beverage distribution company headquartered in the Jarry industrial zone of Baie Mahault, Guadeloupe, founded in 2018. The company operates as a brand agent and exclusive distributor for a portfolio of international and local Caribbean beverage brands spanning carbonated soft drinks, juices, bottled waters, and beers. Its international brand agency roster includes Coca-Cola Cie, Orangina, Caprisun, LOOZA, Danone Waters (Evian, Volvic), Didier, and Heineken brands (Heineken, Desperados, Affligem, Edelweiss), while it holds exclusive distribution rights for local brands L'Ordinaire, Royal Soda, Vaval, Jaigo, and Corsaire beer. The company self-describes as the first beverage distribution company established in Guadeloupe.

The company targets B2B customers in Guadeloupe, primarily local retailers and HORECA (hotels, restaurants, cafes) establishments that need reliable access to major international and local beverage brands through a single distribution partner. Its go-to-market is sales-led, with prospective customers directed to contact the commercial team via the website to become clients, while existing clients access a dedicated B2B client portal (cofrigo.ovh) to place and manage orders. The revenue model is transaction-based: COFRIGO generates revenue by acting as the intermediary between multinational and local beverage brands and the retail/HORECA channel in Guadeloupe.

The technology infrastructure is minimal: a WordPress-based website with a customer login portal for order entry, plus standard phone and fax contact channels. No proprietary technology, patents, software platforms, AI/ML capabilities, or data assets are disclosed. The company is small (1-10 employees) and operating, with no disclosed funding, acquisitions, subsidiaries, leadership transitions, or regulatory actions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is consistent with quote-based B2B commercial arrangements typical of brand-agency distribution.
