Amcor Capsules and Scott Laboratories strengthen their partnership with a long-term contract for distributing tin capsules in North America and STELVIN® screwcaps on the West Coast
[Zurich, Switzerland, 11 March 2024] Amcor Capsules and Scott Laboratories proudly announce the extension of their successful collaboration. The renewal of their comprehensive, long-term contract solidifies the distributorship of premium tin capsules for wine in North America and STELVIN® screwcaps on the West Coast.
Amcor Capsules is a global leader in developing and producing responsible capsules and closures for wine and spirits, and Scott Laboratories is the leading supplier for the North American wine and specialty beverage industry. This extension marks a commitment to a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship, fostering growth and innovation in the wine packaging industry.
“We are excited to share the news of our strengthened collaboration with Scott Laboratories. This partnership strongly aligns with our shared values and dedication to customer satisfaction. Teaming up with such a respected organization, in line with our sustainability goals, highlights our commitment to industry excellence. Together, we’re ready to make a positive impact while keeping exceptional customer care front and center.” Commented Jonathan Bellerose, Sales Manager at Amcor Capsules.
Both companies share a commitment to sustainability and are aligned in their dedication to ecologically conscious practices. In 2023, Scott Laboratories became a Certified B Corporation™, proving their commitment to people, planet, and community. As part of this certification, they now offset 100% of their headquarters’ power usage with solar and locally generated clean power and use less than 28% of the average residential water consumption in the Sonoma water district. Notably, this move towards renewable energy complements Amcor Capsules’ introduction of a greener version of its STELVIN® screwcaps, with 35%1 less carbon emissions.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Amcor, sharing a commitment to providing a sustainable packaging solution. Through collaboration with Amcor, we aim to enhance our sustainability efforts and continue delivering exceptional value to our customers while maintaining our dedication to customer service.” Commented Chris Holman, General Manager of Cork & Packaging at Scott Laboratories.
