Fick Joins Castle Brands
As of February 1, 2007, Mr. Claes Fick will join Castle Brands Spirits Co., Ltd.
( www.castlebrandsinc.com), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Castle Brands, as
chief commercial and marketing officer. As such, Fick will be responsible for
the marketing and commercial development of all of the company's brands
globally.
Fick is currently a management consultant with Sevenco AB.
Prior to that, he served 17 years at Vin & Sprit AB, the Swedish company
that developed and owns Absolut Vodka and other premium spirits brands. From
2000 to 2005 he was director and member of the management board of Vin &
Sprit. From 1995 to 1999 he ran the American operations of The Absolut Vodka
Co., and from 1988 to 1995 he was director of Europe for The Absolut Vodka Co.
""Claes is an extremely capable marketer and developer of brands with a
list of accomplishments that speak for themselves," said Mark Andrews, chairman
and CEO of Castle Brands Spirits Co. Ltd. "With the recent departure of
Constantine Constandis, we have the opportunity to expand the aggregate skill
set of our management team without significantly increasing the size of the
executive group. Claes is a significant part of this development, and we are
very fortunate to have him at Castle Brands."
