Founded in 1945 as a small bulk wine business in upstate New York, Victor, N.Y.-based Constellation Brands has grown into a leading total beverage alcohol (TBA) supplier in the United States. “I’m sure my father never dreamed that his modest wine business would eventually grow into the No. 1 multi-category supplier in the U.S.,” President and Chief Executive Officer of Constellation Brands Rob Sands says.
“We now have approximately 9,000 employees; about 40 wineries, breweries and distilleries; and offer more than 80 premium brands,” he continues. “We have grown tremendously, but we’ve never forgotten our roots or the values that drive our success.”
