Impact Story:  

"How would you like to buy a bottling plant?"

By answering "yes" to that question, Brian Dworkin rescued the New Kensington bottling plant from bankruptcy.  With his drive to succeed and a family background in bottling, Brian obtained financing from Bridgeway Capital for the purchase of the plant and working capital.

Under Brian's management, Castle Co-Packers:

  • Bottles more than 500,000 cases per month.
  • Increased its customer base from three to 54 customers in two years.
  • Grew the number of year-round employees to 75 with steady wages and an optional benefits plan.

After reaching over $4 million in sales in 2006, Brian expects the sales to increase by more than 100 percent in 2007.  With two more bottling lines set for operation and a keen eye on the future, Castle Co-Packers is on the path to success.
