Westfalia Technologies to Install Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems in Two Sazerac Distilleries
Installations Mark the First Use of AS/RS Technology by a U.S. Spirits Supplier
York, Pa. -- April 22, 2014 -- Westfalia Technologies, Inc. (www.westfaliausa.com), a leading provider
of logistics solutions for plants, warehouses and distribution centers since 1992, announced today that
it has been selected by the Sazerac Company, one of the largest family-owned distilling companies in
the United States, to install Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RSs) and Savanna.NET®
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) software in two of its Kentucky distilleries: Buffalo Trace
Distillery in Frankfort and The Glenmore Distillery in Owensboro. The Sazerac Company is the first U.S.
spirits supplier to use AS/RS technology.
Westfalia will install its Satellite® technology at both sites. Notably, this technology eliminates moving
parts in the rack structure and allows greater throughput with less machinery, resulting in lower energy
consumption and system maintenance costs. When coupled with Westfalia’s Savanna.NET® WMS, the
system delivers the ultimate in warehouse automation with complete material flow control, order
management, reporting, logging and more.
At Buffalo Trace, the new 83,000 square foot warehouse addition will store approximately 10,000
pallets with room for expansion. The 223,000 square foot distribution center to be constructed at
Glenmore will be dedicated to the storage and processing of palletized and layer-picked orders.
Groundbreaking at both sites is scheduled for April 30th.
Mark Brown, president and chief executive officer of Sazerac Company, said, “We are very proud
we are able to continue to invest in our future. Through our partnership with Westfalia
Technologies, we’ll have state-of-the-art distribution centers, which will allow us to serve our
customers even better.”
Dan Labell, owner and president of Westfalia Technologies, said, “I am pleased that Sazerac chose
Westfalia to bring AS/RS technology to the spirits industry. Our product quality, coupled with our
advanced WMS software, separate Westfalia from other vendors. Every Westfalia design reflects the
ultimate in innovation based not only on customer metrics, but also on their mission/vision for today and
tomorrow.”
