GIN TIME AT THE AIRPORT: SIR EDMOND TEAMS UP WITH GEBR. HEINEMANN

AMSTERDAM, 15 July 2022 | Waiting around at the airport can be a mind-numbing experience. Duty-free shopping offers an exciting alternative, especially now Sir Edmond Gin has hit the shelves. The Dutch brand teamed up with Gebr. Heinemann to make their Bourbon vanilla-infused gin available at multiple major European airports.

Avid travellers spend many long hours waiting around in airports. Some wander the endless hallways, others slouch down in uncomfortable chairs. Luckily, most airports have plenty to offer in terms of eating, drinking and shopping. Gebr. Heinemann is one of the leading companies in the global Travel Retail category, operating duty-free shops in airports all over the world.

Sir Edmond is excited and honoured to be part of the German company’s impressive range of renowned brands. Their bottles of Bourbon vanilla infused gin are already available at the Heinemann Tax Free stores in the airports of Berlin, Copenhagen and Hamburg. More airports will follow soon, as well as diplomatic stores, border shops and cruise lines.

Passion for people

Sir Edmond co-owner T-J van der Drift has every confidence in the retail, distribution and sales expertise of Gebr. Heinemann. “All departments are in close contact with each other and with their two large subsidiaries, Heinemann Americas and Heinemann Asia Pacific. The people at Gebr. Heinemann are just really passionate about their business, as are we.”

Dominique Makatita, co-founder of Sir Edmond, is impressed by the global operations of the German family business. “They serve clients from all over the world in all continents,” he says. “From airports and airlines to border shops, ferries and cruise lines.
