During a recent business trip to Trinidad, our Director Sales Peter Schulte had the opportunity to meet with, among others, the producer of the world-renowned “Angostura Bitters.”
In addition to gaining valuable insights into the brand’s rich heritage and production processes, the visit centered on meaningful exchange and the strengthening of relationships.
Encounters like these highlight the importance of face-to-face dialogue in building resilient partnerships and unlocking new perspectives.
On this occasion, Peter also extended his congratulations on behalf of the thenex family to the newly appointed CEO, Mr. Ian Forbes, and presented him with the 125-year anniversary chronicle of thenex GmbH as a token of appreciation.
We are confident that Ian Forbes is the right person for this role and will serve as an inspiring driving force for one of the most iconic rum distilleries in the region.
With a proud history spanning 200 years, Angostura is exceptionally well positioned to navigate both current and future opportunities.
Having had the pleasure of working with Ian Forbes over the past 35 years, we also warmly congratulate Angostura on this excellent choice. Ian has consistently demonstrated professionalism, diligence, and transparent communication — a leader who delivers.
