Guinness PLC

Guinness PLC
Fabricante de licores destilados y de una cerveza de malta cremosa característica.

Se originó en Dublín, donde Arthur Guinness compró una pequeña cervecería a fines del s. XVIII. Desde 1799, la cervecería sólo produjo la malta Guinness, que llegó a conocerse como la cerveza nacional de Irlanda. Se constituyó en 1886 con la razón social Arthur Guinness Son and Co. Ltd. y sólo en 1982 se transformó en una sociedad anónima. En 1955, para ayudar a resolver disputas triviales que surgían en los bares, comenzó a publicar The Guinness Book of Records [Libro de Records Guinness], que ha llegado a ser quizás el libro más vendido en el mundo anualmente. En 1997 se fusionó con Grand Metropolitan PLC, empresa matriz de Burger King, con el objeto de formar la empresa Diageo PLC con oficinas centrales en Londres.
