History of Rainer Mauritz

On 1st May 1971 Rainer Mauritz , with two employees, founded an import wholesale business in Las Palmas , Gran Canaria ( at 36 Luis Antunez Street). In the beginning some 80% of sales volume was importing French cigarettes and re-exporting them to Africa, the other 20%of the business was the importation of food products for a growing tourist market.
1975 was an important year in that we moved to our own office and warehouse space in the central location of 3 Barcelona Street.

     

     

Launch...

In 1978, due to the prevailing political situation, Rainer Mauritz S.L. cut business ties with Africa, which meant that the company had to find new market opportunities.
This led in 1980, to us starting to import, among other things, barrels of beer, which has become the cornerstone of today´s Rainer Mauritz S.L. At the same time a technical division was formed and employee numbers grew. Later, in 1987 the company took over Warsteiner Tenerife S.A .in order to gain a presence in the Tenerife marketplace.
On 1st July 1994 Holger Mauritz joined the firm and a limited company was formed with both father and son sharing the rights and obligations which come with directorship. This transformation also took us into new business areas and expansion.Lack of space in Las Palmas and the complication of having several warehouses around the area led us, in the mid nineties to, build new premises near Gando (Las Palmas) airport ; at the Salinetas Industrial Estate.

New headquarters...

We finally opened our new location, with a huge party on 1st May 1997.
Now in our new premises, we had another big change on 1st September 2000. Rainer Mauritz S.L. bought Alecan S.L., another known player in the Canarian marketplace. This acquisition doubled sales, staff, transport fleet and our client base.
On 1st May 2009 Gernot Mauritz joined the board of the company, again sharing in the rights and obligations of this family firm.
Now with more than three decades of excellent working relationships with both our clients and suppliers we hope to continue and improve along our, so far, successful business lines. These aims are shared by the directors of the company and by our fine and experienced working team .

Our team

Over more than three decades we have formed a sound team which is able to offer our clients the best possible service.

Logistics / Transporte de mercancia

German beers are rightly known as the best in the world. Germany , with its age old tradition of beer making , is the starting point for the most prestigious international brands.
Rainer Mauritz S.L. imports these beers to the Canary Islands with the guarantee of freshness and conservation which these high quality products deserve , in order to satisfy even the most discerning of beer ¨gourmets¨.

TRANSPORT IN GERMANY

Transport starts in the brewing cities , all over Germany. From Munich (in the south) or Warstein , the beers are taken direct from the breweries to the northern ports in lorries , trains or barges to ensure quick and secure transport.

ESTIBA

Aquí es donde los esfuerzos de RAINER MAURITZ, S.L. adquieren su verdadera dimensión: Nuestros transportistas aseguran que los contenedores son cargados siempre en primer lugar, para ser ubicados en el barco bajo la línea de flotación. Esto ayuda a la buena conservación de la cerveza durante los 6 días que dura la travesía desde Hamburgo o Rotterdam hasta las Islas Canarias por dos motivos: En primer lugar, la ausencia de sol permite preservar la temperatura de bodega a niveles muy inferiores a los que encontramos en la cubierta del barco. Y, en segundo lugar, el hecho de encontrarse bajo la línea de flotación supone -gracias a la acción refrigerante del mar- una menor temperatura que la que encontramos en las partes superiores de la bodega.

Altenburger Destillerie, Erdinger Weissbier, Estrella Galicia, Gaffel Kölsch, König Pilsener, Krombacher, Kuemmerling, Possmann, Prinz, Soldepeñas Sangria, Soldepeñas Weine, Ugma, Veltins, Wernesgrüner.


Our brand PALMA
In 2005 Rainer Mauritz S.L. looked at the possibility of producing their own beer , under their own brand name , with the idea of complementing their already extensive product range.
Tras muchas pruebas y tests, Rainer Mauritz S.L. sella un decisivo acuerdo para la producción de cerveza con la fábrica Cercasa Viva S.L. como la mejor garantía de calidad para nuestra marca. El resultado es una cerveza de máxima calidad, capaz de satisfacer a los paladares más exigentes. Esta cerveza es producida al 100% en Gran Canaria, siguiendo las pautas del Decreto de Pureza de 1516. Gracias a su alta calidad y a su incomparable sabor, se distribuye cada vez con mayor éxito en el mercado canario, pasando de los 310 Hectolitros iniciales de 2005 a los 2.250 Hectolitros vendidos en 2009.
