Liviko is an Estonian company that specializes in the production, wholesale, and retail of alcoholic beverages. Founded in 1898 in Tallinn, Liviko has grown to become one of the leading alcohol companies in the Baltic states, with a significant presence in the international market as well. The company's product portfolio includes a wide range of spirits, such as vodka, liqueurs, brandy, and other alcoholic beverages.

History[edit | edit source]

Liviko was established at the end of the 19th century, during a period of rapid industrial growth in Estonia. Initially, it focused on the production of vodka, which was the most popular spirit in the region at the time. Over the years, Liviko expanded its product range to include other spirits, adapting to changing market demands and consumer preferences.

During the Soviet era, Liviko was the only official producer of vodka in Estonia, which significantly boosted its production volumes and market presence. After Estonia regained independence in 1991, Liviko was privatized and underwent major restructuring to modernize its operations and expand its market reach.
