Stock in the Community

Art and industry are two fundamental human instincts which are often complementary. Both help us to move our society forward, and working together, can drive progress.

Stock has always understood this. Part of its culture is the conviction that art and industry can come together. Over its history, the company has tried to create situations where art can be encouraged, and applied. Stock has used art to enhance awareness of the tradition that has created Stock products, to encourage responsible drinking and to bring art to a wider public.

The collection of oil paintings, created for Stock in 1967 by twelve of the most famous contemporary masters is one important example. The artists concerned were Giorgio De Chirico, Pietro Annigoni, Renato Guttuso, Giuseppe Ajmone, Virgilio Guidi, Franco Gentilini, Ennio Borlotti, Bruno Tassinari, Aligi Sassu, Orfeo Tamburi, Gregorio Sciltian and Leonor Fini.

This is a valuable collection that Stock has endowed to the city of Trieste. There is an appropriateness about Stock commissioning such works. Just as it is the passing of the years that qualifies the judgment of a painting as a work of art, so in the spirits industry it also can create an exclusive spirit that becomes more precious after careful ageing.

Stock, as a leading company in the world’s Brandy market, provides its own discerning consumers with a product which is worth tasting and admiring: Brandy Stock 84.
