Our History
From humble beginnings in 1910, J.E.MAURICIO slowly emerged into a powerhouse in the distribution and marketing of alcoholic beverage and mineral water industry. Since 1983, Omar van der Dijs, grandson of the initial founder, turned around what was then a fading company, from a 2,000 cases of beer a month into a 40,000 cases operation. Acquiring LICORES MADURO in 1999, the company became the island’s market leader in spirits, wines, and locally manufactured and imported mineral waters. With a strong philosophy and focus on brand building, the company has formed a deep relationship with internationally known trade names that now form part of the company’s portfolio.
