Rankings PDF Download CoverStory: Top 25 Beverage Companies THE TOP 25 BEVERAGE PACKAGING COMPANIES METHODOLOGY Our top 25 beverage packagers list uses sources that include annual company reports, news reports, company websites and direct company contacts. Sales are based on calendar year 2016 or the most recent fiscal year that conforms to that timeframe. We used XE, the online currency counter (xe.com), where necessary. We have also used all available resources to separate out beverage revenue from food and other segment revenue. Some companies are marked with an asterisk to indicate an estimate when one of the following occurred: it was impossible to get a breakdown of beverage vs. other segments; it’s a private company and news sources reported the data, not the company directly; or no new information could be found, resulting in us reporting 2015’s revenue. 2016 TOTAL COMPANY/ REVENUE CHIEF PACKAGING OFFICER/ RANK HEADQUARTERS (IN $ BILLIONS) TITLE KEY BRANDS In October 2016, Anheuser-Busch InBev 45.52 Claudio Braz Ferro Budweiser, Corona, Beck's, Stella Artois, AB InBev 1 Leuven, Belgium Chief Supply Integration Officer Leffe, Hoegaarden, Foster's, Michelob completed Ultra, Busch the acquisition of SABMiller, The Coca-Cola Co.

Introductions; Who/What is AIA/Flint; tour format STATION #1.1 – Saginaw Street/Saginaw Trail Native Americans - Architect Saginaw Street, Dixie Highway, M24, M1, Woodward Avenue, call it what you will, but is was originally known as the Saginaw Trail, one of only three public thoroughfares in MI that were originally Indian Trails dating back at least 300 years; one of the oldest known Indian trails in North American. It may also be the oldest in the US to bear its original name. In part it was the reason Flint was settled by the Europeans in the early 1800’s. The Native Americans, who created the trail would use it to not only to bring furs to trading posts in Flint, Saginaw and Detroit, The Saginaw Trail runs from Detroit to Saginaw through Pontiac and Flint. In 1816 Michigan Territorial government authorized the building of a road from Detroit to Saginaw following the trail. In 1829 it became a military road. It evolved from a dirt path to gravel, to a corduroy road in 1831 to 1’ thick wood blocks and finally to the bricks we see today. The Detroit to Flint section was finished with the wood blocks in 1833, and the Flint to Saginaw section was finished in 1841.

  • 150Th Vernors Anniversary Brochure
    A History of Vernors James Vernor was a junior clerk at Higby and Sterns’ Drug Store in Detroit when he enlisted in the 4th Michigan Cavalry and was called to fight in the Civil War. At the time (according to company lore), he was experimenting with a stomach calming tonic of vanilla, spices and ginger, which he left behind in an oak cask. When Vernor returned four years later, he found that his elixir had transformed into a zesty, sweet, gingery drink complimented by the wood’s aging process. Soon after, Vernor opened his own pharmacy on Woodward Avenue, and its soda ® fountain became the first – and only! – place in the world to buy Vernor’s ginger ale in 1866. As demand grew, Vernor began to sell his product to other Detroit soda fountains, but required that vendors purchase special equipment to serve the soda in order to ensure its quality. After gaining enough fame, Vernor was able to sell his soda throughout the Midwest. In 1896, he closed his pharmacy and opened a bottling plant at the foot of Woodward so that Vernors could be mass produced. James Vernor passed away at the age of 84 in 1927. The company continued to thrive under the leadership of his son, also named James Vernor. A massive sign illuminated with the company logo became a landmark along the Detroit riverfront, where ferries took passengers to Windsor, Bob-lo and Belle Isle. By the 1940s, the Vernors bottling plant took up an entire city block along the river and welcomed thousands of daily visitors to its soda fountain.
