Constellation Brands: brands it owns and its ownership tree
Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Victor, New York, United States that owns 9 consumer brands, and has 1 recorded transaction.[1]
Constellation Brands began as a New York wine producer in 1945 and is now built around the American rights to Mexican beer brands, which it obtained when regulators required AB InBev to divest them to clear its 2013 takeover of Grupo Modelo.
To settle the Department of Justice lawsuit blocking AB InBev's acquisition of Grupo Modelo, AB InBev sold Constellation Brands the perpetual rights to Corona, Modelo Especial and Pacífico in the United States, together with the Piedras Negras brewery. This is why Corona has a different owner in the United States than everywhere else.
