Santa Rosa, CA - March 15, 2025 - BevZero, a global leader in beverage de-alcoholization and product development solutions, has announced that it will resume management of the Santa Rosa facility as Bronco Wine Co. focuses on winemaking.  This transition represents an exciting opportunity to enhance operational efficiency and focus on the long-term success of the facility.

Bronco Wine Co. took on management of the BevZero Santa Rosa, CA location as part of a broader portfolio of Wine Hooligans assets acquired in February of this year. As part of the acquisition, Bronco Wine Co. had initially planned to integrate the management of the Santa Rosa facility into its operations. However, after further evaluation, both organizations determined that BevZero, with its specialized expertise in advanced beverage processing and innovation, is best suited to oversee the facility's future growth and success. This transition will allow Bronco Wine Co. to remain focused on its core business of winemaking, while BevZero leverages its deep industry knowledge to continue providing high-quality services to partners in the wine, beer, and spirits industries.

"As we continue to strengthen our position as a leader in the beverage industry, we recognize the importance of focusing on what we do best-producing outstanding wines," said a Dominic Engels, President & Chief Executive Officer of Bronco Wine Co. "We are confident that BevZero's management of the Santa Rosa facility will ensure its continued success and create exciting new opportunities for its employees and customers."

BevZero is committed to a smooth transition and is actively working to bring in a new leadership team dedicated to innovation, quality, and operational excellence. The company remains focused on supporting existing customers while also expanding opportunities to serve new beverage brands seeking cutting-edge solutions.

"This is an exciting step forward for BevZero as we resume management of the Santa Rosa facility," said a spokesperson for BevZero. "We are eager to build upon the strong foundation that has been established and to create a collaborative environment where our team, partners, and customers can thrive."

Both companies will continue to work closely throughout the transition to ensure ongoing support for employees and customers. This decision underscores a shared commitment to industry leadership and long-term business growth.
