ABD acquires global rights to Mansion House Brand

In a landmark development, Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd. (ABD) has announced the acquisition of 100 percent equity share capital of UTO Asia Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based entity. The deal, finalised on June 10, is valued at €1.2 million (excluding stamp duty and levies), and the transaction has been concluded with immediate effect.

With this acquisition, UTO Asia has become a wholly owned subsidiary of ABD, granting the Indian spirits company global ownership of the well-known Mansion House and Savoy Club brands, excluding specific Southeast Asian territories: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, China, and Myanmar. Sources confirm that the Indian market is also excluded.

The move represents a strategic milestone for ABD, solidifying its control over two of its key heritage brands across global markets. The acquisition aligns with ABD’s expansion strategy, aimed at strengthening its international footprint, enhancing brand equity, and accelerating growth in both existing and emerging markets.
