Across Branded Spirits, Distilling\nSolutions and Ingredient Solutions, generations of expertise, craftsmanship,\ntrusted relationships and shared commitment have built a differentiated\nplatform for growth.\n\nWith decades of experience, the company has built a deep foundation in\ndistilling, blending, bottling and brand building. The 2011 acquisition of the\nhistoric Lawrenceburg, Indiana, distillery further expanded those\ncapabilities, adding significant distillation capacity and expertise. Now\nknown as MGP Distillery, the facility remains a cornerstone of the company’s\nAmerican whiskey operations and distilling heritage.\n\nThe 2021 acquisition of Luxco was a defining milestone, uniting complementary\nstrengths, experienced teams, world-class distillation and bottling\ncapabilities, an award-winning spirits portfolio and national distribution.\nBringing these strengths together created a uniquely vertically integrated\nenterprise positioned to deliver the high-quality, distinctive brands\nconsumers demand. That foundation paved the way for the 2023 acquisition and\nrapid rise of Penelope Bourbon, now one of the fastest-growing premium\nAmerican whiskey brands.\n\n“Sempreon is the next chapter for a company that’s been building toward\nthis for years,” said Julie Francis, president and chief executive officer\nof MGP Ingredients. “Since 1941, we’ve grown from a single distillery into\na business spanning Branded Spirits, Distilling Solutions and Ingredient\nSolutions. This name brings all three of our businesses under one identity. As\nwe enter this exciting new era, our strategy remains grounded in focus,\ndisciplined execution and accountability. Sempreon brings that strategy to\nlife through our commitment to the idea of ‘Tradition Looking Forward,’\nhonoring everything we have built while continuing to evolve, innovate and\ncreate long-term growth and value.”\n\nThe name Sempreon reflects the company’s strong foundations, heritage and\nhistory, while looking ahead to its future and the legacy it will build.\n“Semper,” derived from the Latin word for “always,” represents the\nenduring foundation on which the company was built, while “Aion,” drawn\nfrom the Greek word for “eternity,” reflects its forward-looking vision\nfor the future and a legacy designed to last. Together, the name represents a\ncompany that honors where it came from while continuing to evolve for what’s\nnext.\n\nSempreon signifies the evolution of the company and its new mission:\n“Creating moments that matter. Building a legacy that lasts.” The mission\nreflects the company’s commitment to honoring its heritage while continuing\nto grow, innovate and create lasting impact for generations to come.\n\n“Over the better part of the last century, our company has grown to\nrepresent much more than a single distillery, brand or category,” said\nMatias Bentel, chief marketing officer of MGP Ingredients. “Becoming\nSempreon is about bringing our businesses together under a shared identity\nwhile honoring the legacy that built them. We’re carrying that legacy\nforward through the names of our distilleries, including MGP and Lux Row,\nwhile looking ahead to what’s next.”\n\nSempreon will bring together three complementary businesses, each with its own\ndistinctive capabilities, right to win, trusted customers and opportunities\nfor growth.\n\nBranded Spirits\n\nThe Branded Spirits business is home to a growing portfolio of distinctive\nspirits brands with positions across bourbon, whiskey, tequila and other\ncategories.
