Ardagh Glass Packaging – North America has been awarded the highest supplier rating from Arterra Wines Canada, Inc. Arterra’s Supplier Scorecard is based upon service, governance and risk management, value and innovation.

For the past 18 years, AGP – North America has worked alongside Arterra, collaborating on a multitude of projects.

“The last two years have been extremely challenging from a supply perspective,” said Emilio Russo, Vice President, Procurement at Arterra Wines. “We very much appreciate the support from [AGP staff] Walter Schaefer, Manager, National Accounts; Kris Johnson Whetsel, Manager, Customer Service – Food, Beverage & Spirits; and Kimberly Culver, Manager, Customer Service – Wine, East for their collaboration and creativity, often providing solutions to potential issues before they occurred, which mitigated our exposure to supply gaps.”

“Ardagh Glass Packaging is pleased to receive the highest supplier rating from Arterra,” said Darrell Wineman, Vice President, Food, Wine & Spirits for AGP – North America. “We are passionate about collaborating with brands such as Arterra to deliver superior service and the highest standards in sustainable glass packaging.”
