“Staying connected to the needs of our customers and consumers is at the forefront of how PBV runs its operations,” said Matthew Bucherati, Senior Vice President of Operations & Supply Chain at PBV. “Running our operations responsibly and sustainably is paramount. This new line incorporates the latest bottling technology, allowing us to keep up with demand while remaining good stewards in communities where we operate.
