Carolina Beer & Beverage was founded in 1997 as a manufacturer of a dozen, high-quality, draft beers sold and distributed in five mid-Atlantic states under the Carolina Blonde and Cottonwood Ales brands. Carolina Beer & Beverage changed its name to Carolina Beverage Group (CBG) in 2011.
CBG has a reputation as a world-class manufacturer and distributor for numerous leading beverage brand companies, with an emphasis on specialty-sized cans, specialty plastic and glass bottles.
CBG’s state-of-the-art facility in North Carolina includes the latest in high-speed can filling, batching, tunnel pasteurization and quality control processes.
“What has impressed us most about SunTx is their enthusiasm to learn our business from an educational perspective. They have taken an active interest in understanding the growth drivers of our industry and are supportive of our efforts to grow the business. The leadership team also thinks outside the box—unlike most private equity managers, they have encouraged communication between us and the senior leaders of other companies in their portfolio. They have been a pleasure to work with so far and we look forward to a successful, thriving partnership.”
- J. Michael Smith, CEO, Carolina Beverage Group
