We put a lot of emphasis here at Craft Beverage Jobs on producers. But that’s not the whole Craft Beverage story, and does not represent the entire industry. There’s a whole supply side of things that is vital to the growth of craft beer, wine, spirits, cider, and coffee (and kombucha and mead, etc!!).

Without suppliers, there would be no equipment to ferment or brew with, and there would be no packaging to contain the delicious beverage with. To say that the supply side of things is vital would be an understatement, and to neglect to focus on the career opportunities on the supply side would not be doing any one of us a service.

So with that now said, we are pleased to share with you two very unique and exciting opportunities currently available with Glopak USA – a glass and packaging company that services the entire beverage category.

About Glopak USA

Glopak USA is a US company with production in China. They offer a variety of glass and packaging options directly to the beverage industry – so there no go-between or broker. When a producer works with Glopak to source their glass and packaging needs, they are working directly with the manufacturer, which makes the process more efficient and cost-effective. Their quality is excellent and they can go above and beyond with custom solutions for clients.

Glopak USA is based out of New York with offices in California as well. They are currently opening up new markets in Oregon and Washington, which brings us to the two new positions offered by Glopak here on Craft Beverage Jobs
