Constellation Brands Named Beverage Forum 2016 Large Company of the Year
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Company is Recognized for its "Best in Class" Performance in the Beverage
Industry
VICTOR, N.Y., April 27, 2016 - Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B),
a leading beverage alcohol company, has been recognized as Large Company of the
Year by The Beverage Forum at the 2016 conference, the only global all-beverage
executive conference.
Constellation Brands President and CEO Rob Sands accepted the award at the
annual conference in Chicago on April 26, where he was also a keynote speaker.
The award recognizes organizations that stood out in 2015 and have risen to meet
the opportunities and challenges within the beverage space.
"This is an incredible honor," said Sands. "It certainly has been another
milestone year for our company, and this award is a testament to talented
employees that work hard to deliver for our distributors, customers and
consumers every day. We continue to look forward to future growth and are
excited by the opportunities ahead."
Constellation's strong routes to market, leading marketing initiatives, and
acquisitions of leading brands has resulted in steady growth, top performance in
the S&P 500, and heightened attention on the company's trend toward
premiumization. In August 2015, Constellation Brands completed the acquisition
of the Meiomi luxury wine brand, the number one pinot noir in dollar sales
growth, followed by the acquisition of Ballast Point in December 2015, one of
the fastest-growing craft beer companies in the U.S. Most recently,
Constellation announced its agreement to acquire The Prisoner Wine Company -
home of super luxury wines The Prisoner, Saldo, Cuttings, Blindfold and Thorn.
All this happened in the midst of another banner year for Constellation's
popular imported beer brands such as Corona Extra, Corona Light, Modelo
Especial, and Pacifico. Modelo Especial became the No. 1 dollar share gainer
among U.S. beer brands in IRI channels during calendar year 2015, and Corona
Extra was the No. 1 imported beer. Kim Crawford recently emerged as the No. 1
sauvignon blanc in the U.S. and Canada and achieved Fast Track status in the
Beverage Information Group's 2015 awards. The Beverage Information Group also
recognized SVEDKA Vodka as a spirits growth brand, which this year achieved its
place as the No. 1 imported vodka in the entire U.S.
