Overview
Alliance Global Group, Inc. (“AGI”) is one of the leading conglomerates in the Philippines, with interests in property development, food and beverage manufacture and distribution, quick-service restaurants and integrated tourism development businesses. Incorporated on October 12, 1993, AGI began operations in 1994 as a glass-container manufacturer after it acquired a glass
manufacturing plant in Canlubang, Laguna.  Immediately, the Company began its diversification into the food and beverage and real estate industries, and, in 2005, into the quick-service restaurant business. In 2007, it reorganized to consolidate businesses controlled by Dr. Andrew L. Tan and family (“Tan family”), specifically in the distilled spirit manufacturing and property development. In 2008, the Company entered into integrated tourism development, with gaming activities, by partnering with a leading multinational leisure, entertainment and hospitality group. In 2011, AGI expanded its integrated tourism estate development outside of Metro Manila, particularly in the Calabarzon and Visayan regions, and in 2014, in Mindanao. From 2013 to 2016, the Group expanded its spirits manufacturing business abroad through business and asset acquisitions in Spain and United Kingdom. The Group started acquiring vineyard lands and assets in Spain in early parts of 2013 and 2014, and a brandy and sherry business in 2016. Also in 2014, the Group acquired the 5th largest manufacturer of Scotch whisky in the world; thus fortifying the distilled spirits business segment. The Group did realignments and acquisitions also in the real estate segment starting in 2013 to 2016 while expansion of non-gaming facilities and offerings and quick-service restaurants is ongoing.
