Napa, Calif.—The Ardagh Group, Glass-North America announced the opening of a new office in Napa, Calif., to better serve customers of Ardagh Direct, a program launched in January to provide wineries west of the Rocky Mountains direct access to Ardagh Group glass bottles. 

“The decision to expand our presence in the Napa Valley was a logical step in Ardagh Direct’s business growth strategy,” Jeff Oberti, vice president of sales for Ardagh Direct, said in a news release. “The area is one of the world’s premier viticulture regions, and our office, centrally located within the heart of the wine-producing region in California, will provide wineries with access to Ardagh Direct’s sales and customer-support teams, allowing them to meet face-to-face with us and visit our office to view product offerings.”
