Reaction is a global organization invested in solving the toughest global problems. We were founded by over 200 Stanford alumni executives across 47 countries. Our mission is to improve a billion lives, within a decade, by thought leadership and scaling innovations that change the world. Reaction is creating exponential change. Why now? Because more innovations will be created in more countries and industries over the next decade than in the previous 50 years. Many that offer the potential to solve pressing global issues will fail to reach the markets that need them the most. Reaction was founded by a diverse team of global leaders who united to solve this problem. We share a vision for a world where thought leadership and innovation can change more lives in less time.

Kim jesteśmy? Produkujemy i sprzedajemy kultowe marki wódek, cieszące się zaufaniem i uznaniem zarówno w kraju, jak i za granicą. W naszym portfolio znajdują się produkty o wieloletniej tradycji, jak Żubrówka, Soplica, Bols, Absolwent i Żytniówka oraz nowości, jak Rajska Cytrynówka. Jesteśmy też największym importerem znanych zagranicznych alkoholi. To dzięki naszym działaniom polscy konsumenci poznali w ostatnich latach smak whisky Grant’s, wina Carlo Rossi oraz takich trunków jak Jägermeister, Metaxa, Remy Martin, Campari czy Aperol. CEDC International istnieje na rynku polskim od początku lat 90 i początkowo działalność firmy opierała się na imporcie piw. Z czasem skupiliśmy się na produkcji i sprzedaży mocnych alkoholi. W tym celu zainwestowaliśmy w zakup zakładów produkcyjnych w Białymstoku (gdzie powstaje m.in. Żubrówka i Żytniówka) i Obornikach (Soplica, Bols) koło Poznania. Obecnie zatrudniamy w Polsce około 1.400 pracowników. Jesteśmy w gronie liderów największych firm branży FMCG pod względem przychodów ze sprzedaży na rynku polskim. Od lutego 2022 roku CEDC International jest częścią polskiej Grupy Maspex. Czy wiesz, że…? • Co trzecia butelka wódki, whisky i wina sprzedawana w Polsce to nasz produkt • Produkowana przez nas Żubrówka to trzecia co do wielkości marka wódki na świecie • Początki naszej marki Soplica sięgają roku 1891 • Polska jest trzecim co do wielkości rynkiem na świecie dla naszych whisky Grant’s oraz Metaxy • Nasza fabryka w Białymstoku to największy zakład produkujący mocne alkohole w Polsce
