RUDOLF JELÍNEK expands its operations in Europe in 2024. By acquiring a 52% stake in the Berlin-based company BLN Biobrennerei GmbH, it strengthens its position in the German market. BLN Biobrennerei is renamed R.JELINEK Deutschland GmbH. The company will be managed by the leadership team consisting of Philip Bachmüller and Petr Minárech.

This investment underscores RUDOLF JELÍNEK’s commitment to further expand its leadership role in the global spirits industry.

The distillery, located in the heart of Berlin, boasts “eco” certification. It emphasizes regional and high-quality organic raw materials from ecologically controlled production. Combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative ideas, the result is BLN organic distillates with an unmistakable taste. The current portfolio of BLN Biobrennerei will be expanded to include typical fruit distillates from the Vizovice distillery, such as slivovitz, pear williams brandy, and apricot brandy.
