About Peter Mielzynski Agencies LTD "PMA" and the Mission

  • PMA Canada's Mission is to become Canada's Best Premium Beverage Alcohol Growth Partner. We strive to be recognized as 'Agents for Growth' focused on three core areas of People, Partnerships and Performance. We represent an enviable portfolio of leading premium spirits, wines and beer brands. We are a privately held company founded in 1979 by Peter Mielzynski Sr., and to this day, we pride ourselves on building brands and providing Service Excellence for our Suppliers, Customers & Consumers._

Position Overview:
Hendrick's Gin Canada seeks a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and highly creative individual to represent the values of our brand to consumers, trade and media in Montreal (70%), Toronto (20%) and Quebec City (10%)

Fantastic opportunity to represent one of the very best brands in the industry.

Hendrick's Gin broke conventions back in 1999 by marrying two types of gin distillates and infusing the curious, yet marvelous, essences of rose and cucumber.

Hendrick's leads the premium plus gin segment, and was integral in spearheading the gin renaissance.


Designed for the curious, Hendrick's brings explorers on a journey that provokes the imagination and rewards those who enter with surprise, delight and wonder.

We pride ourselves on our own eccentricity and appreciate all things madcap, anachronistic and intriguing. We value self-expression and encourage everyone to be as delightfully peculiar as we are.
