Our activities
In-bulk sales of alcohol and distillates
Whisky, cognac, rum, neutral alcohol and much more. Annually SALCO delivers more than 150 million litres of alcohol as bulk goods to international customers: from craft distilleries, via private label bottling businesses, to international spirits groups.
Operation of our own production plants and warehouses
SALCO is more than a dealer. Distillates are produced, brown spirits (whisky, cognac and brandy) stored in wooden casks, customer-specific recipes blended and orders prepared for dispatch from our 10 own sites spread across Europe.
Strategic partnerships
Our own production plants, warehouses and unsurpassed stocks are guarantees of our ability to provide high-quality deliveries and enable the production of customer-specific and exclusive recipes. SALCO is the ideal partner for long-term, strategic partnerships and for the creation of new products.
Buying-in of alcoholic precursors
In addition to proprietary production, SALCO buys in alcohol and distillates from more than 100 distilleries worldwide. We value long-term, stable partnerships but at the same time are always interested in including new qualities and sources in our portfolio.
Quality management
Production and storage are continuously monitored by on-site specialists and audited by SALCO. All products are examined for compliance with the specified parameters. We have special analyses conducted in independent and certified laboratories. SALCO’s quality management department coordinates all of this and is the central point of contact for customers on any quality issues.
