Marie Brizard et Roger International is a French alcoholic beverage company founded in 1755.[1] It has been a subsidiary of Belvédère since 2006, and is based in Ivry-sur-Seine, France.[1]
The company sells liquors, pure cane syrups, recipes, and cocktails and mixes.[1] The products are available in over 120 countries.[2]
The founder, Marie Brizard, was born in 1714 in Bordeaux one of 15 children of a barrel carpenter.[2] In 1755, she took care of an ill West Indian sailor, and in return he gave her a recipe for aniseed liquor.[2] That year, she and her nephew, Jean-Baptiste Roger, founded the company. The company began to grow, and was even presented to King Louis XV.[2] In 1795, Jean-Baptiste Roger died.[2] In 1801, Marie died.[2] The company was passed to the widow of Roger, and the family kept ownership of the company for over ten generations until 1998.[2] In 1954, it became a public limited company.[2]
