The company was founded in 1912[1] by Georges Monin. But it was not until the 1920s that the first syrups were made.
Georges Monin died in 1944. However, the company remained family-owned.[2] His son Paul took over the management of the company a few months later. He abandoned wine production and concentrated on syrups, establishing a network of dealers throughout France. In 1996, Paul Monin's son, Olivier Monin, established a production unit in Clearwater, Florida. In 2018, he established one in China.
75% of its revenue comes from international business.[3][1]
The company has locations in France, Asia, North America and Australia.[4]
