Our Story
Founded in Los Angeles, Martinez Brands began as the sales office for El Charro Tequila, a legacy crafted by Dr.Martinez’s family in Mexico. From day 1, our portfolio expanded to include a wide range of authentic Mexican beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. We Quickly became one of the top-5 private label and bulk tequila distributors worldwide.
1997
We underwent a major transformation, parting ways with our distribution partner, Southern Wine & Spirits, to create our own business model. This shift allowed us to better align with the booming demand for Mexican spirits in the U.S. market.
Our goal was twofold: first, to introduce U.S. consumers to authentic Mexican brands that were underrepresented, and second, to target niche markets and specialized accounts that larger distributors often overlooked, to ensure brands reached their full potential.
2014
We partnered with Casa Cuervo/Proximo Spirits to import, distribute, and market all of their heritage Hispanic brands within the US. We have embraced the opportunity to grow these brands in the U.S.
