HTN: Labatt Plans More Buffalo Jobs

When New York City-based KPS bought Labatt USA last winter, it made several promises. One of those was to keep the popular Canadian beer's U.S. headquarters in Buffalo. The company hopes to double the current 20-person workforce at the downtown Buffalo office, in administrative support, marketing and sales. The Buffalo-Niagara region accounts for about three-point-three-million of the 21-million total cases Labatt sells in the U.S. annually.

Beer Delivery...to City Hall!

A case of Labatt beer was delivered to City Hall today. Labatt USA's president Glen Walter delivered the beer to Mayor Byron Brown to mark the change in labeling of Labatt products from Norwalk, CT to Buffalo, NY. The new labels will be in retail stores later this spring.
