Allied Blenders and Distillers acquires global rights to Mansion House and Savoy Club brands
The acquisition strengthens ABD’s international presence, excluding select Asian territories, and expands its premium alco-bev portfolio.
INDIA – Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd (ABD), one of India’s leading alcoholic beverage companies, has acquired the global rights to the Mansion House and Savoy Club brands.
This follows the company’s purchase of 100 percent equity in UTO Asia Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based entity.
The acquisition was approved by ABD’s board and took effect immediately upon signing of the binding transaction document. Through this deal, ABD secures worldwide rights, title, and interest in the Mansion House and Savoy Club brands.
However, the agreement excludes specific territories including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, China, and Myanmar.
ABD stated that the acquisition supports its strategic goal to expand its footprint in key international markets, improve brand visibility, and accelerate overall business growth.
The transaction was valued at Rs 11.92 crore (US$1.39M) excluding applicable stamp duties and levies.
“The acquisition of UTO Asia and the associated ownership of worldwide rights in the Mansion House and Savoy Club brands—excluding certain territories—aligns with ABD’s strategic expansion objectives,” the company said in a statement. “It allows full brand control on a global scale while catering to regional market nuances.”
ABD currently owns several established Indian brands such as Sterling Reserve, Officer’s Choice, and Officer’s Choice Blue.
The company was listed on stock exchanges in July 2024 and reported a total consolidated income of Rs 8,094.02 crore (US$940.5M) for the fiscal year 2025.
In April 2025, ABD further diversified its portfolio by entering the Indian brandy segment with the launch of Golden Mist French Brandy in Karnataka.
Blended using French and Indian techniques and aged in French oak barrels, Golden Mist is available in multiple formats, including 750 ml, 375 ml, 180 ml, and 90 ml packs.
The addition of global rights to Mansion House and Savoy Club brands marks a key milestone for ABD as it enhances its international brand portfolio while reinforcing its position in the Indian alco-bev market.
