Top Brands & Manufacturers in Cayman Islands

VerityRank

89/100

Founded

The brand dates from 1886, when the Del Monte name was first used on food supplied to the Hotel Del Monte in California, and was adopted for the brand itself in 1892. The company is not that old: the entity trading today was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 29 August 1996 and listed in October 1997, so 1886 is a brand anniversary rather than a founding year.

Employees

About 40,028 people at 26 December 2025: 8,562 full-time employees plus more than 31,466 daily, seasonal and temporary workers. About 84% of the workforce is based at production locations. The figure of 47,383 that appears in third-party profiles is not supported by company disclosure.

Coverage

The FY2025 Form 10-K states that products are sold in more than 80 countries; company press releases sometimes say 90+, and VerityRank uses the 10-K figure of 80+. North America is the largest market, at 58% of FY2025 net sales. No China revenue figure is disclosed by the company.

Facilities
