Artur Mundet i Carbó

Monument to Artur Mundet in Sant Antoni de Calonge

Artur Mundet i Carbó (Sant Antoni de Calonge, 1879 - Mexico City, 1965) was a Catalan businessman based in Mexico.

Artur Mundet came from a family of Catalan cork manufacturers, and first travelled to Mexico to establish a branch of the company business there. In 1902, he created the Sidral Mundet apple flavoured soft drink which was destined to become popular in the Mexican market and beyond.

He was known for his philanthropic work, including the creation of the Recinte Mundet in Barcelona and the Germandat de Sant Antoni de Calonge in his place of birth. The Parque Arturo Mundet in Mexico City bears his name, as does the Casa Llar per a Ancians Artur Mundet, an old people's home in the same city.
