"AVD Embouteillage S.A. is now a fully-owned subsidiary of the Barbancourt Group," announced Barbancourt Rum Company S.A. in a statement released on Wednesday, June 22, 2023. This integration represents a significant milestone for Barbancourt and will facilitate job creation in the Sarthe and Damien regions, further solidifying its position as a leader in the national wine and spirits market.

Indeed, this newly established subsidiary, which commenced operations in 2022, will focus on the production, labeling, and packaging of wines and spirits, as well as their distribution in Haiti. The portfolio already includes two commercial brands: Fuerza (Vino Tinto), produced and bottled in Haiti, and King's Pride whisky, for which AVD oversees the bottling process.
