Located in Southeast Missouri, Crown Valley Copack has become one of the leading beverage manufacturers in the Midwest. In April of 2003, Crown Valley started its first venture in the winery business. Over the next 5 years, it opened multiple facilities with the ability to brew, distill and produce sparkling wines. From the conception of the company, Crown Valley has helped local and statewide wineries and breweries with contract manufacturing demands. In 2017, Bryan Siddle, Director of Crown Valley, started to build a Copack team and Quality Assurance program. This enabled Crown Valley to expand its footprint to that of a leader for global companies as their third-party innovation manufacturer.
