Company history

Ron Barceló was founded by Julián Barceló, a Spanish émigré born in Mallorca. He founded the company in 1930 under the name Barceló & Co in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, having arrived in the country in 1929.

During the 1980s Miguel Barceló created the Ron Barceló Imperial, and Ron Barceló became the most popular rum in the Dominican Republic. Exports grew and the company began distribution outside of the Caribbean and America. In 1992, the company began an international campaign and, by 1994, Ron Barceló was exported to over 10 countries, with Spain as its biggest consumer.

In 2000, Barceló & Co. began working with a group of Spanish entrepreneurs with many years of experience in the rum industry.

Ron Barceló is currently exported to more than 50 countries.
