Modern Brewery Age, Sept 30, 2002 by Sue Hanes

For Caffey, this new facility is the accomplishment of generations of hard work and perseverance. A family owned business since 1962, this Coors, Guinness, Heineken and SAB-Miller distributor continues to grow in North Carolina and Chris Caffey says it is prepared to carry the business into the next generation.

"The overall look [of the new facility] has surpassed my expectations," Caffey says. "My employees are motivated and energized with their new work areas:, and the distribution center is already paying for itself by running efficiently and economically."

Caffey says he had a dream for his ideal facility, and that dream is now reality. "The success of this project is due to the special talents that were brought to the table by Holleran Duitsman and Meridian," Caffey says. "With their experience, their cost-effective approach, and their focus on details, I felt from the very beginning that I was sure to get the best facility available....Now I know it!"
