Founded in 1972 by Michael C. Bellas, BMC began as a data services firm, publishing a series of beverage market reports and a comprehensive beverage directory. Today, our research and data division, BMC Research, offers more than 30 U.S. and global market reports regarding the beverage industry. In addition, BMC Research is also home to the beverage industry’s first ever all-inclusive, all-channel database with market forecasts—DrinkTellTM. In the 1990s, BMC expanded into the management consulting and advisory sectors. Today, BMC Strategic Associates offers a wide range of management consulting services throughout the supply chain to companies, entrepreneurs and investors through in-depth knowledge and experience, while BMC Advisors handles the financial needs of CPG and finance industry clients. At present, our staff counts among its ranks many of the most knowledgeable beverage, food and CPG experts in the world. With distinguished records of success in their professional careers along with diversified nationality and professional experiences, our staff members help industry leaders, emerging companies and investment firms thrive in a competitive and continually evolving marketplace. In addition, our global network of contacts enables us to maintain the most thorough and up-to-date reserve of industry-related knowledge anywhere. In addition, for more than two decades, BMC has annually co-hosted The Beverage Forum, gathering global industry leaders and experts to discuss the current and future status of the global beverage industry. In the past few years, we’ve added our successful interactive breakout sessions that deliver essential industry information and thought-provoking analysis.
