We had the pleasure of visiting The Glenmore Distillery, a Sazerac Company and legacy employer with more than 175 years of history and a lasting impact on Greater Owensboro’s economy. Home to one of the largest and most modern bottling facilities in the country, Glenmore employs over 400 people and bottles a wide range of globally recognized brands, including Kentucky Tavern, Svedka, and Montezuma, right here in Owensboro. The distillery is not only a national leader in production but also a proud investor in the Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corporation, helping to shape the future of our region. We’re especially grateful to Zak Kissel, General Manager at Glenmore and a dedicated member of our GOEDC board, for his leadership and ongoing commitment to Owensboro’s growth. Special thanks to Zak and Nathan Bienvenu, Operations Manager, for the behind-the-scenes tour and for all they do to support our local economy and workforce. Glenmore’s continued investment in people, innovation, and place is a powerful example of how history and progress can go hand in hand. #MakingOwensboroGreater #EconomicDevelopment #BusinessRetention #ManufacturingLeadership
