Testimonials
“Drinks Solutions was engaged by our Indonesian manufacturing partner to build their business from the ground up and worked closely with Campari as an integrated project partner to deliver the transition to local production.
​
They led the value chain analysis and feasibility assessment for the new RTM strategy and also advised Campari on the new commercial plans for the locally produced SKYY Vodka. ​This comprehensive and collaborative approach enabled the business to scale rapidly, growing from approximately 1,000 cases annually to over 28,000 cases within three years, fundamentally transforming Campari’s presence in the Indonesian market.”
