Republic National Distributing Co. (RNDC) said it expanded its partnership with O’Neill Vintners & Distillers in four key states – Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Indiana. RNDC will now represent the full portfolio, including Line 39, Intercept, Robert Hall, Day Owl, Harken, and Exitus, in a total of 17 states.
“Our partnership with RNDC has continued to grow across the U.S. over the last year, and we continue to win together in all channels of trade. The recent partnership with Young’s Market Co. in the west will only bolster our go-to-market strategies and enable us to drive additional share for our partnership. RNDC’s capabilities pair well with our growth strategy, and this expanded partnership will enable us to both be more efficient in the marketplace,” said Mark Federighi, Chief Sales Officer for O’Neill Vintners & Distillers.
Founded in 2004, O’Neill Vintners & Distillers has become the seventh largest winery in the U.S., with a reputation as one of the premier wine producers in the business. Leveraging its vertically integrated vineyard, winery, and bottling operations, O’Neill Vintners provides the highest quality products.
RNDC now represents the O’Neill portfolio in Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
“RNDC’s recently expanded footprint allows us to provide additional support to such a successful and growing company like O’Neill Vintners & Distillers. And with this agreement, O’Neill can capitalize on RNDC’s On and Off Premise National Accounts team — the leading team in the nation,” said Bob Hendrickson, RNDC Chief Operating Officer.
