ACI Brings Experience to the Table.... ...33 Years I have a passion for making things work. As a young boy in Portugal, I made wine with my father. I have continued that tradition with my family here. When I make wine, I want it all to "work". Whether it be pricing, quality or performance, my goal is to use my 33 years of cork industry experience to assist our customers in "making it work". I am happy to answer any questions or discuss any concerns to insure the optimum performance of our product. Armando Andrade, General Manager Russ Armando Phil ...29Years I take pride in the fact that my experience in natural cork production is split between the cork and wine industries. My 10 years with the Robert Mondavi Corporation has instilled in me a unique understanding and appreciation of wine, and the effort that goes into taking it from the vine to the bottle. WithACI, I am happy to share my knowledge and experience to help my customers make the best closure choice possible for each of their wines. Russ Warren, Sales Representative ...20Years Natural Cork.... good for the earth... great for your wine... In owning and managing fine restaurants, marketing for an ultra premium winery and consulting on wine marketing, I have learned to see wine from the final customer's perspective. I have acquired a rare view of what the small and medium wine producer must do to effectively market their product. My goal is to assist my customers in finding the right closure for their packaging goals, as well as to safely and properly close their fine products. I hope to give each customer a better chance to stand out in a crowded market. Phil Durrett, National Sales Director
