The North American division of glass bottle producer Ardagh Group has launched a new initiative, Ardagh Direct, which offers vineyards in the American northwest the option to buy their bottles directly from the company.
The wine bottles are available in a range of styles, sizes and colours and can be ordered in LTL (‘less than truckload’) quantities, which is good news for smaller vineyards.
"Ardagh Group values the collaborative partnerships that it has with the North American wineries. The new Ardagh Direct team has the knowledge and resources to...evaluate their needs and shares the knowledge of the wine industry, while offering a product line that is relevant to the marketplace," said Alex Robertson, chief commercial officer for Ardagh Group’s North America glass division.
Ardagh Group is the largest producer of glass wine bottles for the US market, within the US. It has facilities for manufacturing and recycling glass bottles in California, the Pacific Northwest and the New York State area.
