Construction at Lux Row Distillers is full speed ahead! The grading of the area is complete, as are the foundations and footings on which the building will eventually sit.

In the coming weeks, the steel work will be finalized, creating the main framework of beams and columns for the building.

Congratulations to Rob Boas on being awarded the Paul A. Lux Award. Since Luxco’s purchase of Paramount Distillers in late 2011, Rob has been a great leader in heading up all of our efforts in Cleveland. He has carried the Luxco flag proudly and has worked closely alongside David, Chris, and Craig to accomplish some rather lofty capital projects and production requirements. All along, he simply did his job and got it all done…on time! Well done Rob!
