The ability to purchase U.S.-made glass direct from a local manufacturer is important to Oliver Winery. Ardagh Group’s Glass – North America headquarters is located in Fishers, Ind., while Oliver Winery is a mere 65 miles south in Bloomington, Ind.
“Ardagh Group is pleased to partner with Oliver Winery – an icon in the Hoosier state,” said John T Shaddox, Chief Commercial Officer for Ardagh Group’s North American Glass division. “We are passionate about the success of the wine industry across the country, and are proud to support wineries with glass wine bottles made right here in the U.S.”
The bottles for Oliver Winery leverage the brand’s existing design assets with a modern, premium look and feel.
Oliver Winery started in the 1960s, as a hobby of Indiana University law professor William Oliver, until the official winery opened in 1972. Today, Oliver Winery is the oldest and largest winery in Indiana and one of the largest wineries in the U.S., distributing award-winning, fruit-forward wines to 27 states.
“Quality glass is an important part of our winemaking program, and we are excited to work with Ardagh in this area,” said Dennis Dunham, VP Operations and Director of Winemaking.
