INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardagh Group,
Glass – North America, a division of Ardagh Group (NYSE: ARD) and a
leading producer of glass containers for the food and beverage
industries in the United States,
today announced the opening of a new Napa office to better service its Ardagh
Direct customers.
In January, Ardagh Group launched its Ardagh Direct program to
provide wineries of all sizes, located West of the Rocky Mountains,
the option to purchase glass wine bottles directly from Ardagh
Group, Glass – North America, the
only glass wine bottle manufacturer to produce all of its wine
bottles in the U.S.
"The decision to expand our presence in the Napa Valley was a logical step in Ardagh
Direct's business growth strategy," said Jeff Oberti, Vice President of Sales for Ardagh
Direct. "The area is one of the world's premier viticulture regions
and our office, centrally located within the heart of the wine
producing region in California,
will provide wineries with access to Ardagh Direct's sales and
customer support teams, allowing them to meet face-to-face with us
and visit our office to view product offerings."
Unique to the U.S. market, Ardagh Direct is the first and only
option for wineries to purchase high-quality, American-made glass
wine bottles direct from Ardagh Group in a variety of sizes, colors
and styles with the flexibility to order less than truckload (LTL)
quantities.
"The Ardagh Direct team has years of experience servicing
wineries in the western U.S. and Canada and has the knowledge, along with the
resources, to work alongside wineries to evaluate their needs,
deliver the level of service expected and offer a product line that
is relevant to the marketplace," said Oberti.
In addition to the new Napa
office, Ardagh Group operates a full-service
one-million-square-foot distribution facility in Fairfield, California and is the largest
repack center in the region designed to meet all of the bottling
and distribution needs of West Coast wineries.
Ardagh Group is proud to manufacture American-made products that
are environmentally friendly and 100% endlessly recyclable, while
strengthening the U.S. economy by using domestic recycled glass and
raw materials. Ardagh Group employs approximately 800 employees on
the West Coast, with a total workforce in the U.S. of approximately
5,500 people.
With a wine-industry history that spans more than 125 years,
Ardagh Group, Glass – North
America is the largest producer of glass wine bottles made
in the U.S. Ardagh Group produces glass wine bottles from its glass
manufacturing facilities located in the heart of the three major
wine-producing areas in the country, including California, the Pacific Northwest and the
New York State area.
The new Ardagh Direct office is located at 550 Gateway Dr.,
Suite 80 in Napa, California.
