Inver
House Distillers is an independent Scottish based company. The company
was established in 1964 as a subsidiary of the American company, Publicker
industries. Unfortunately in the 1970's the Scotch Whisky industry
fell into decline and after the death of its American chairman, Publicker
appeared to lose interest in its Scottish subsidiary. As a result,
the malt and grain distilleries at Airdrie became surplus to requirements
and were closed in 1985 and 1986.
However,
following the takeover by the management team in 1988, and the revival
of the industry, Inver House purchased 5 highly regarded malt distilleries
in the space of 9 years. Since then Inver House has gone from strength
to strength in its commitment to a worldwide market. This continued
commitment was recognised in 1992 with the granting of the Queen's
Award for Export Achievement. Inver House is also committed to the
training and development of its employees and in 1999 received the
coveted Investors in People accreditation. In October 2001, Inver
House entered a new chapter when it was purchased by Pacific Spirit
(U.K.) Ltd, a global beverage company with close ties to Carlsberg
Asia and the TCC Group companies. Being part of a larger group will
ensure the company's continued success in an increasingly competitive
market place
