It’s been nearly two years since two of the most respected distribution companies in the alcohol beverage industry joined forces to become Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, the largest company of its kind in North America.
Combinations like these present their own set of unique challenges, which the company has tackled head-on. The transaction also resulted in one large business benefiting from the resources of both its parent companies, giving Southern Glazer’s an opportunity to evolve in ways that would have been virtually impossible before.
“This business is all about having the right product at the right time in the right place at the right price,” says Shelly Stein, president of Southern Glazer’s. “It sounds simple, but it’s actually really hard to do. We were faced with integrating massively complicated logistics across all areas of our business, and now we truly believe that we have the structure in place to deliver the best portfolio of products available in the market.”
Along with an extensive product selection, the company also boasts impressive figures. In the 2017 fiscal year, Southern Glazer’s distributed 172 million cases of product and has projected revenue of $18.2 billion. Several years ago, numbers like that would have been unimaginable for both companies, but as a result of the partnership, it appears that just about anything’s possible.

To reflect on the past, present and future relationships between WSWA and Southern Glazer’s, I recently spoke with Craig Wolf, who will step down this summer after 18 years as president and CEO of WSWA.
