Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) has appointed Breakthru Beverage Group (BBG) as its exclusive distributor in California for the Treasury Americas and Treasury Collective US portfolios.

It follows one of TWE’s existing distributors, Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), closing from the beginning of September.

TWE said the BBG agreement reflected the “scale and breadth of BBG’s distribution platform in the state and the strength of the existing strategic partnership” between the two.

BBG is already distributing for TWE in several states, including Florida.

In its June investor update, TWE revised its financial forecast to “modest” growth for Treasury Americas in FY26 due to economic uncertainty and weaker consumer demand.

TWE said the net financial impact of the distributor change “remains uncertain”.

“There are a number of factors that will contribute to the final outcome, including TWE’s ongoing transition and exit arrangements with RNDC in California,” it said.

TWE’s full year results will be announced on 13 August 2025.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
