In many respects, world events have precipitated the company's growth to this point. The original Compania Ron Bacardi, S.A., was founded in Santiago de Cuba in 1862 by Don Facundo Bacardi y Maso. Seeking opportunities in the New World, Don Facundo, as he is reverently known, left Catalonia, Spain, for Cuba in 1839 with two of his brothers. In Santiago, Don Facundo became a wine merchant and also sold the rum of a local producer. That, and being in Cuba, close to all that sugar cane, made experimenting with making rum a natural step. In 1965, over 100 years after the company was established in Cuba, Bacardi established new roots and found a new home with global headquarters in Hamilton, Bermuda. In February 2019, Bacardi's CEO, Mahesh Madhavan, stated that Bacardí's global headquarters would remain in Bermuda for the next "500 years" and that "Bermuda is our home now."

Our Audience

Bacardi drinks are not easily found in Cuba today. The main brand of rum in Cuba is Havana Club, produced by a company that was confiscated and nationalized by the government following the revolution. Bacardi later bought the brand from the original owners, the Arechabala family. The Cuban government, in partnership with the French company Pernod Ricard, sells its Havana Club products internationally, except in the United States and its territories. Bacardi created the Real Havana Club rum based on the original recipe from the Arechabala family, manufactures it in Puerto Rico, and sells it in the United States. Bacardi continues to fight in the courts, attempting to legalize their own Havana Club trademark outside the United States. [30] Acquisitions [ edit ] Bacardi Superior Ron Bacardi units S.A.

Santiagueras old units have four buildings: the main one for offices and bottling, the distillation, aging vessels and one for storage. Las dependencias de Ron Bacardí S.A. se encuentran en la calle Peralejo 3 y fueron confiscadas al ser nacionalizada la empresa en 1960. La marca se mantuvo en poder de la familia, pues desde finales de los años 20 se habían establecido fuera del país. Las viejas dependencias santiagueras cuentan con cuatro edificaciones: la principal, para oficinas y embotellado, la de destilación, las naves de añejamiento y una para almacenamiento. La fábrica está a menos del 50% de su capacidad productiva, la necesaria inversión no llega y “el Gobierno exige producción pero no da nada”, según los trabajadores.

Traditionally, Cutillas says, "the leader of the business has always been a family member. This is the first time that we depart from the tradition, or custom, of 134 years and it is a sign of the times."Be the first to use oak barrels to purposefully age the rum and develop specific flavor pro-files (a process which is more commonly known these days for brandies and whiskies).
