“I encourage the whole team to congratulate each other on an awesome 2019,” says Kevin Andrew. “It truly takes all of us working together to see results like this, and they should be really proud of what they accomplished. We’re looking forward to another successful year in 2020.”
The recent addition of Black Velvet to the Heaven Hill portfolio is sure to impact these numbers, and hopefully boost records beyond the nearly 13 million cases shipped in 2019. Kevin, Rick, and Neal look forward to 2020 as they assess additional ways to continuously improve and further optimize the new Westfalia system.
