Launched Its Own Whiskey…. We Tried It. Yes, you read that right. And, no, the mountain on the bottle does not turn blue. By Staff October 8, Last February, the iconic brewery rebranded itself to Coors Beverage Co.
If the fundamental challenge facing Molson Coors is about remaining relevant to millennials and their shifting preferences, why craft that strategy in a city they are fleeing versus going with one they consider vibrant?
Jacques, who joined the company in February. Jaques came over from Kraft Heinz and is a graduate of the University of Michigan, which has a top marketing program. That supports the argument of marketing synergies.
Coors Light sales are finally starting to rebound under the new campaign. Miller Light sales continue to move forward and Blue Moon has had its best quarter for sales in years, Collins said. When Adolph Coors Co. Both families emphasized that the combination was a merger of equals. The balancing act came back into play. And if it came down to community identity, Denver should have been the hands-down winner.
CEO preference sometimes is at play in headquarter relocations, and Denver still has a bitter taste from what happened with Chipotle Mexican Grill. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Chipotle board had struck a deal with the former Taco Bell CEO to remain in his hometown and avoid uprooting his wife and young children, at the expense of disrupting the lives and careers of people in Denver. Three years later, the youngest brother, Thomas, left the organization after a severe disagreement with his family.
In he moved to Kingston, Ontario, where he established an independent brewing and distilling operation. The elder John Molson left the company in , leaving John, Jr.
He served as president of the Bank of Montreal from to , and in he was nominated to the Legislative Council of Lower Canada. Possibly his most fortuitous venture was his contribution of one quarter of the cost of building Canada's first railway, the Champlain and St.
He died in January at age Thomas Molson returned to Montreal in and was readmitted to the family enterprise. Over the next 80 years new partnerships formed among various members of the Molson family, prompting several more reorganizations.
The first in the third generation to enter the family business was John H. Molson, who joined the partnership in He became an increasingly important figure in the company as William and John, Jr. In the Molson brewery, now called Thos.
Beer production grew faster than bottle production, though, necessitating the company's purchase of a separate barrel factory at Port Hope, Ontario, in In Molson started to advertise in Montreal newspapers, while also setting up a retail sales network and introducing pint bottles.
The company became John H. In the Molsons closed their distillery, citing poor sales, and in they sold their property in Port Hope. In the early years of the 20th century, the company incorporated pasteurization and electric refrigeration into its methods.
In addition, electricity replaced steam power, and mechanized packaging devices sped the bottling process. In the company became Molson's Brewery Ltd. The Molson family would continue to hold a major stake in the company right through the merger with Coors. The family's direct interest in banking ended in when Molson's Bank merged with the Bank of Montreal. The first half of the 20th century was a period of rapid growth for Molson.
Production at the Montreal brewery rose from three million gallons in , to 15 million in , to 25 million in Molson adopted modern marketing and advertising methods to enhance market penetration and in began producing its first promotional items, despite founder John Molson's contention that "An honest brew makes its own friends.
In the mids Molson management recognized a need to expand operations significantly. By concentrating their resources, other Canadian breweries had finally begun to compete successfully against perennial leader Molson. Molson decided that the appropriate strategy was to have a brewery operating in each province, as distribution from its base in Quebec to other provinces was subject to strict government regulations.
With operations in the other provinces, Molson could further build its market throughout Canada. This large-scale expansion began when Molson announced a second brewery would be built on a ten-acre site in Toronto. Modernizations at the Montreal facility had, it was felt, fully maximized output there. The new Toronto installation opened in and became the home of Molson's first lager, Crown and Anchor.
This period also saw the introduction of Molson Golden beer, first brewed in , as well as the flagship Molson Canadian, which debuted in In the company name was changed to Molson Breweries Limited, reflecting the firm's expansion into multi-brewery operation. The expansion effort resulted in good returns for Molson investors; between and earnings more than doubled. Even so, Molson leaders recognized that expansion potential within the mature brewing industry was limited, and further, that growth rates in the industry would always be slow.
It was clear that even the most successful brewing operation soon would reach the limits of its profitability. Thus Molson began an accelerated diversification program in the mids that heralded in Canada the era of the corporate takeover.
In Molson made its first major nonbrewing acquisition in more than a century. Ontario-based Anthes Imperial Ltd. The Anthes executive staff was known to be highly talented in acquisitions and strategic management, two areas in which Molson needed expert help to pursue its goal of diversification.
However, because the various Anthes companies required different management and marketing strategies, the acquisition did not benefit Molson as much as its directors had hoped.
Soon Molson sold off most of the Anthes component companies. The company had learned that future acquisitions should be of firms that were more compatible with Molson's longstanding strengths in marketing consumer products and services. In the meantime, the company in had changed its name to Molson Industries Limited, a reflection of its diversification; the beer-making operations were renamed Molson Breweries of Canada Ltd.
Molson did retain one important component of Anthes: its president. As Molson's chairman, Donald "Bud" Willmot directed a series of successful acquisitions in the early s. Management felt that the ideal candidate must be a Canadian-based firm and must be involved in above-average growth.
The do-it-yourself material supplies market appeared to be the ideal candidate: there seemed to be a new trend, consumers doing their own home improvements, and Molson recognized the potential for rapid growth of this market in urban areas, which at that time had few or no lumberyards or similar outlets. Molson began acquiring small hardware, lumber, and home furnishings companies.
During the remainder of the decade Beaver acquired several smaller hardware and lumber operations. Molson's service center division grew to encompass retail stores, most of them franchises, selling everything from paint to home-building supplies.
In the mids Beaver began importing competitively priced merchandise from Asian countries. The brewery operations were bolstered one year later through the acquisition of Formosa Spring Brewery, based in Barrie, Ontario.
Although Beaver's sales climbed steadily throughout the s, rapidly making it a leader in its industry, profits lagged behind what Molson had anticipated, and initially the company considered the Beaver purchase only a modest success. Struggling at first to integrate the brewing and home improvement divisions, Molson eventually learned that the two industries, and marketing therein, are very different.
The beer industry operates in a controlled market; governments regulate sale and manufacture of alcoholic products. The hardware industry, on the other hand, operates in a relatively free market.
Furthermore, in brewing, manufacturing efficiency is the key to a profitable enterprise, but the success of a home improvement retail operation hinges on the ability to provide a broad variety of products at competitive prices. The challenge of integrating two companies operating in such different markets led Molson to a careful reassessment of its diversification criteria; in the future, the company would concentrate on marketing specific product brands.
Gluck, vice-president of corporate development, wrote: "We only wanted to go into a business related to our experience--a business in which marketing, not manufacturing, is the important thing.
Diversey was Molson's first large acquisition in the United States, though most of its clients and manufacturing plants were in fact located outside the United States in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific basin. Molson also bought into sports and entertainment in , buying a share in the Club de Hockey Canadien Inc. The subsequent merger of BASF and Diversey made Molson's chemical products division its second largest earnings contributor. Prior to the merger, Diversey was a weak competitor in the U.
Thus the marriage was a sound move for Diversey, which had found a relatively inexpensive way to increase its share of its market in the United States. Having concentrated on diversification, Molson found that it had missed the globalization of the brewing industry that had begun in the s. While other major competitors had expanded internationally through acquisition, Molson had not completed a single foreign acquisition. Although the conglomerate remained profitable throughout the s, it became clear to the board of directors, led by eighth-generation heir Eric Molson, that the company would need to make some international connections to remain a major, independent participant in the beer market.
A career civil servant who had entered the private sector in , Cohen was brought into Molson with one objective: to raise the year-old company's sagging returns. Elders subsequently renamed for its beer-making subsidiary, Foster's Brewing Group Ltd. Whereas it had been difficult for Cohen's predecessors to agree to relinquish more than two centuries of control, Cohen had no such compunctions. The merger also helped lower both participants' production costs: the combined operations were pared from 16 Canadian breweries down to nine, and employment was correspondingly cut by 1, workers.
Unfortunately, the merger proved more troublesome than expected, and a subsequent decline in service alienated customers.
Cohen took the helm and began to formulate a turnaround plan. Hoping to boost the Molson brand's less than 1 percent share of the U. Artichoke Pepperoni Quiche Recipe 4. Curly Noodle Dinner.
