Briggs of Burton recently attended the 6th Annual James B Beam Conference, engaging with global leaders in the distilled spirits industry to discuss the future of distilling technologies and sustainable production.
Representing BRIGGS at the event were Reay Dicks (VP, Briggs of Burton, Inc.), Alex Hoekstra (Senior Project Engineer), and Ben Connolly (Lead Research and Development Engineer). Ben delivered a well-received presentation on BRIGGS ThermoDrive – our Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) solution – highlighting its potential to deliver significant energy and water savings for distilleries worldwide.
The conference was an excellent platform for exchanging ideas, showcasing innovations, and reinforcing BRIGGS’ position as a trusted partner within the bourbon industry.
