Mark Anthony Group

Canadian-owned · made in Canada · based in British Columbia

Family-owned Vancouver drinks group founded by Anthony von Mandl in 1972: White Claw hard seltzer, the Mission Hill, CedarCreek, CheckMate, Martin's Lane, Road 13 and Liquidity wineries in the Okanagan, Bearface whisky, Dillon's Small Batch Distillers and Glendalough, plus Canada's largest wine and spirits import business. The Canadian rights to Mike's Hard Lemonade, Palm Bay and Okanagan Cider went to Labatt in 2015; Mark Anthony kept the US business, where White Claw and Mike's are brewed by its US affiliate.

Mark Anthony Group Inc. is a privately held British Columbia corporation founded by Anthony von Mandl in 1972 and run from Vancouver, with estate wineries in the Okanagan, company-owned spirits brands in BC, Ontario and Ireland, Canada's largest wine and spirits import business, and a US affiliate in Chicago that brews White Claw and Mike's Hard Lemonade for the American market. Products sold to Canadians are mostly made in Canada: the Okanagan wines at the wineries, White Claw for Canada in Ontario, and Dillon's in Beamsville. The Canadian rights to Mike's, Palm Bay and Okanagan Cider were sold to Labatt in 2015, so those are no longer Mark Anthony products in Canada.

Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

OrgBook BC shows Mark Anthony Group Inc. (BC1202243, business number 103714010) as an active British Columbia company, and the CedarCreek Estate Winery and Mark Anthony Wine & Spirits trade names carry the same business number. The company's own site calls the group family-owned and says the von Mandl family independently owns the Okanagan wineries, its 2026 supply chain statement calls it a privately held Canadian corporation, and Ambev's 2015 filing describes it as a private company; the BC registry does not expose shareholders, Corporations Canada returns no federal record for the parent, and SEDAR+ was not consulted because the company is not listed, so the family ownership rests on the vendor's statements.

For the products a Canadian shopper can buy, the Okanagan wines are made at the family's estate wineries in West Kelowna, Kelowna and the South Okanagan, the LCBO lists White Claw for Canada as made in Ontario with a distinct vodka base, Dillon's distills in Beamsville, Ontario, and Bearface is a Canadian whisky. Glendalough is distilled in Ireland, and the group's US ready-to-drink brands, including all White Claw and Mike's sold in the United States, are brewed by the Chicago-based affiliate Mark Anthony Brewing at its Arizona, South Carolina and New Jersey plants. The split is an estimate weighted to Canadian sales, since the company publishes no revenue by product or plant, and the US business would dominate a group-wide revenue split.

The head office and corporate services team are in Vancouver, the Canadian import business has sales and marketing offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver, and the wineries employ hospitality, viticulture and winemaking staff in the Okanagan, including seasonal agricultural workers. The US business runs from Chicago with production staff at three breweries, and a smaller innovation and international sales office is in Dublin. The company publishes no headcount by country, so the split is an estimate.

The company's 2026 statement under the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act says most procurement spend is concentrated in Canada and the United States, with immaterial sourcing from India, Panama, Serbia and Mexico. Grapes come from the family's own Okanagan vineyards and Dillon's uses Ontario grain and fruit, while the US breweries buy their cans, sugar and flavours in the United States. The Canada and US shares are an estimate since the statement gives no percentages, and the origin of the vodka base in Canadian White Claw is not disclosed.
