Independence Agencies Limited, one of the leading distribution companies in Grenada, is now Acado Grenada Ltd.
This name change comes as part of a larger rebranding exercise undertaken by Trinidad-based Agostini Limited.
The Agostini Group has operations in 10 markets, clients in over 30 countries and 3,500 employees. Group operations have traditionally been conducted through more than 20 companies, inclusive of brands with strong community ties like Acado Grenada (formerly Independence Agencies Limited). This rebrand establishes a new shared logo and brand identity for group companies, unifying them under one visual identity.
Acado Grenada (Independence Agencies) became part of the group in 2015 through its joint venture with Goddard Enterprises of Barbados. As part of the rebranding, Acado Grenada will share the Agostini Group logo in a warm orange.
The logo features 4 leaf-like shapes, representing employees, partners, customers, and communities. They come together to create a spark of innovation and growth — the driving force behind the group.
Speaking of the rebranding initiative, Acado Grenada CEO Vidia Woods said, “We have been part of the fabric of Grenada for over 50 years. As part of the Agostini Group and specifically its Acado companies, this rebrand strengthens our position for future growth and reinforces our regional identity. We are part of this community, and even though our name has changed, the way we operate remains the same. Additionally, our consumer-facing retail outlet CK’s Supervalu Food Depot remains unchanged.”
This new chapter for Acado Grenada underscores its position as part a wider regional presence and builds on its strength, while demonstrating the value of strong partnerships with the common purpose of improving lives through the building of strong, sustainable, and innovative businesses that serve as the benchmark for success.
