MicroStar Logistics Completes Integration of Kegstar, Expands Investments in People, Technology and Quality to Scale Globally

Share

LONDON, March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MicroStar Logistics, the global leader in outsourced keg management solutions, today announces the next phase of growth through its Kegstar Division for markets outside of the U.S.

Effective immediately, Bryan Place is assuming the role of President, Kegstar Division and relocating to its headquarters in London. Mr. Place, having previously served as MicroStar’s long-time CFO, brings a wealth of experience to this international role. “In North America, MicroStar serves some of the largest and most sophisticated brewers in the industry by providing them proven keg supply chain solutions that increase operational efficiency and quality while delivering the lowest total cost of ownership. I am personally excited to leverage this market-leading expertise outside of the U.S.,” Bryan says.

MicroStar maintains a total float of over 6 million kegs and is the only player that offers seamless global solutions for large, international brewers. Since MicroStar’s acquisition of Kegstar in 2021, its international fleet of top quality, European-manufactured kegs has grown to more than 1 million. As the only pay-per-fill supplier with global reach across North America, UK, Western Europe and Australia / New Zealand, this significant keg float expansion will continue in order to support global partners. As a result, UK and European breweries now benefit from Kegstar’s expanding network of export markets unlocking growth opportunities and allowing breweries to avoid inefficient empty keg returns or sub-optimal single-use plastic options.

Kegstar customers now also have access to MicroStar’s proprietary TAP keg management system, eliminating the need to scan or track kegs. MicroStar’s VP of Global Technology and Customer Experience, Harley Green, says, “Keg scanning is labor intensive, and keg tracking technologies are unreliable and add unnecessary costs and activities to the supply chain. TAP eliminates these inefficiencies through comprehensive integrations with brewery management systems and ERP’s, logistics partners and wholesalers.”  

In addition, Doug Mellem, who previously led MicroStar’s commercial activities in North America, will be relocating to Sydney and assuming the General Manager role for Kegstar in Australia/New Zealand. Doug’s leadership in the U.S. and deep understanding of our model will further enable Kegstar to deliver the benefits breweries value.

C.K. McWhorter Slams Nelson Peltz For Attempting To Ruin Disney's Luxury Essence and Visionary Future29.3.2024 15:23:03 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Fla., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McWhorter, the luminary investor with an eye for luxury, delivers a blistering retort to Nelson Peltz's antiquated views, revealing his profound misunderstanding of Disney's status as a pinnacle of luxury and innovation. With surgical precision, McWhorter exposes Peltz's detachment from diverse communities and insular worldview, highlighting the glaring gap between Peltz's outdated mindset and Disney's forward-thinking ethos. "At 81 years old, Nelson Peltz's understanding of luxury seems frozen in time, much like the era in which he was born," McWhorter declares. "His failure to grasp the true essence of Disney as a luxury brand underscores his limited exposure to diverse perspectives and his residence within the protective bubble of privilege." In a scathing indictment of Peltz's remarks, McWhorter dismantles the notion that Disney's inclusive storytelling is incompatible with luxury, asserting that diversity and representation are

McWhorter Foundation Combats Nelson Peltz’s Outdated Ideologies and Advocates for Sustainable Inclusivity In Corporate Leadership29.3.2024 06:59:56 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Calif., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C.K. McWhorter, chairman of the McWhorter Foundation, voices concerns over outdated perspectives in corporate leadership, exemplified by recent remarks from Nelson Peltz regarding Disney's film direction. After encountering instances of racism and exclusivity on Town of Palm Beach Island (known as home to Jeffrey Epstein, Nelson Peltz and others), McWhorter reflects on the disconnect between elite boardroom discussions and the realities faced by diverse communities. While briefly meeting Nelson Peltz and shaking hands after both departed separate lunches, McWhorter initially respected his insights. However, recent comments made by Peltz suggesting Disney should avoid inclusive films have raised eyebrows and prompted McWhorter to speak out. "It's concerning when influential figures like Peltz advocate against inclusivity in entertainment," McWhorter comments. "The future is in diversity and representation, especially as millennial a
