History

The success of Monin is a family achievement.   In 1912, Georges Monin founded his company in the heart of France to create 100% natural syrups.   His son Paul continued in the same spirit and initiated its development to the international market.  Today Olivier, third generation, perpetuates the family tradition while moving towards the third millennium where innovation and the internationalization are paramount.

Monin marketed his distinctive syrups exclusively to quality conscious professionals of the culinary,  bar,  fine dining, and gourmet trades.
Today Monin syrups are recognized as the undisputed international syrup benchmark of Quality and are sold in over 62 countries worldwide
Georges Monin's slogan "La Passion de la Qualite" The Passion for Quality remains today as the driving force behind Monin's success.

If Monin has the passion for quality, it also has the spirit of conquest.  In 1993, Monin discovered the taste Americans have for flavored coffees.  Three years late, Monin In. of Clearwater Florida built a 45,000 s.f.  facility with an annual production capacity of 10 million bottles!!!!  Today the combination of expertise and high-end technology allows Monin Inc. to meet the needs of the whole American market.

In the manufacture and bottling of their products, both companies are equipped with high tech machines.  Each production line has a capacity of 6,000 bottles per hour with an 'ultra clean' filling room.   (Monin syrups are flash pasteurized and homogenized)  The French facility, the only holder of production secrets, is connected through computers with the American site.  In real time, a Programmable Language Computer manages recipes, launches production and ensures quality control in America.

Nature gives her best to Monin, and Monin renders it well.  In the heart of one of the most beautiful orchards of France, Monin, while working to ensure production levels, has the highest regard for the environment.   100% natural, without any fat and no cholesterol, the syrups are proof, of the same respect the company has for its customers throughout the world.

Monin took a 'grand slam' at the cocktail world championships in Vienna in 1993, with three Gold Medals, and two Bronze, out of a possible five.   Again in Japan in October, 1996, Monin made history at the International Bartenders Competitions by being the only brand ever to be used by all World Champions and Gold Medal Winners.

In 1994 Monin was awarded the GRAND PRIZE OF EUROPEAN EXCELLENCE.
Previous award winners constitute the elite of Europe's Industry:- watches from PIAGET and OMEGA (Switzerland) cars from ROLLS-ROYCE, JAGUAR (U.K) and MERCEDES BENZ (Germany) pens from MONT-BLANC (France) yachts by RIVA (Italy) perfumes from SAINT-LAURENT, VAN-CLEEF & ARPEELS (France) furs from CHRISTIAN DIOR (France) to name a few.

Monin simply bottles what nature does best.  The marriage of fruit, water, sugar and traditional know-how produces a unique taste.
