Luctor International

Luctor International is the producer and importer of Van Gogh vodkas, vodka-based liqueurs, and Van Gogh gin.

Originally developed in the early 1980s to import Dutch beer, Luctor International has grown leaps and bounds from its small beginning. In 1987 David van de Velde, owner of Luctor, revived the company and began importing Leyden Dry Gin. This premium Dutch gin instantly garnered many accolades. As the US economy continues to boom, the consumer demand for premium, high-end spirits continued to grow. In September 1999 Luctor incorporated Van Gogh gin into its portfolio and shortly followed with Van Gogh Vodkas in January 2000 – both of which instantly earned high ratings from the "Spirits Journal" as well as the "Wine Enthusiast".

Today Luctor’s portfolio continues to grow and now includes Leyden Dry Gin, Van Gogh gin, Van Gogh vodkas as well as Van Gogh vodka-based liqueurs.

Origin of name

Luctor International is name for the region in Holland where the company’s founder and president, David H. van de Velde, was born. Van de Velde sees the name as a symbol of the Dutch pursuit of perfection in everything from art to flowers to cheese.

The fighting lion on the Luctor crest and the words luctor at emergo – “I fight and will survive” – are a reference to the strength and perseverance of the Dutch.
