Happy International Beer Day to all the brewers and beer-lovers of the world!
As the saying goes, if you have eaten or drunk it, then there’s a chance that Briggs of Burton has helped to produce it! Today our team is celebrating International Beer Day, giving us an opportunity to look back on our rich heritage and vast experience in supporting many of the largest breweries across the world to brew beer for the brands you see and drink every day.
Briggs’ history is embedded within the brewery sector
As process engineers since 1732, BRIGGS’ story is rich in the heritage of the brewing industry. From supporting local breweries in Burton-on-Trent, UK, to today providing process design, engineering, equipment, automation and customer support for global brewery brands, we have a proven track record of delivering the knowledge and know-how for exceptional brewing solutions.
Our approach to process engineering, for both the beer and distilled spirits, food and pharmaceutical sectors, is always all-encompassing. Starting with Front-End Loading/Site Master Planning, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) project delivery, all the way through to Customer Service and Support (CSS), our 290+ years of experience in supporting breweries guides us at every step of the way.
From building new breweries..
The customer-focused ethos of the BRIGGS team, combined with our extensive experience, enables us to work hand-in-hand with the breweries we support to achieve their production goals in both greenfield and brownfield expansion.
Our dedication to perfecting the quality of the products and services we offer drives us to form close partnerships with our customers, understanding their needs and inspiring our team to innovate for what’s next.
This future-focus lies at the heart of our sustainability approach, too, both as a business and as a service-provider for global beverage brands. Reducing our environmental impact and enabling breweries to reuse and upgrade existing equipment through the use of innovative, sustainable solutions is, we know, key to achieving sustainability goals for today and tomorrow.
Our open and innovative approach has enabled us to offer novel holistic solutions, integrating process, utilities and packaging to optimise TCO in a sustainable way, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. This included developing the ‘Brewery of the Future’ for a major world brewer, much of which was implemented in a new brewery in Nigeria.
Why do we do this? Because at BRIGGS, people and quality come first, so we’ll always strive to help our customers reach for world-class brewery operations.
With brewery building projects taking place all over the world, such as in North America, Australia, Africa and the UK, our global expertise is supported by our teams, located across the world, alongside our partnerships within the wider CLPT Group. This, we believe, supports our aim of offering a collaborative, cohesive and optimised outcome for our brewing customers.
…To expanding existing ones
Our engineering expertise also extends to brewery expansion, supporting some of the biggest beer brands in the world like ABInbev, SAB Miller and Molson Coors, as well as iconic regional breweries such as Coopers, Spoetzl and Everards, to grow their brewing operations.
The past decade, in particular, has seen a notable rise in craft brewers’ expansion into distilled spirits, where brewers have been looking to take advantage of their production facilities and lead in both the brewing and distilling sectors.
