Glazer's Beer & Beverage Invests in Protecting Their People, Property and Possessions

By Gina Stuelke, CEO of Kenton Brothers

KB has had a long standing relationship with Glazer’s Beer & Beverage, one of the largest distributors of liquor in the United States. Our relationship began with their distribution warehouse in Kansas City in 2011. Matt Swilling, VP Operations for Glazer’s Beer and Beverage, has been a long time customer and valued partner with KB. Both companies share a common theme: Our vision, mission and family values are at the heart of who we are.

In July, we completed our fifth commercial security system installation for Glazer’s

Our most recent project was at their Glazer’s Beer & Beverage distribution center in Waco, Texas. We worked with David Floyd, Glazer’s General Manager, and his right hand Jamie Sparks. Both gentlemen were great to work with. We were able to design a solution to encompass all of their requirements for ease of use and administration.

The intrusion system at their 50,000 square foot facility was coming to end of life and they wanted to add access control to protect their people, property and possessions. To meet their needs, we suggested an integrated solution using Gallagher security, incorporating all of their systems into one integrated solution.

Our traveling duo of senior technicians, Josh and Tim, rolled into Waco, Texas for the 30 day installation. These guys are extremely knowledgeable and are all about getting the project completed on time and in budget. The solution was comprised of access control throughout the facility, including 2 vehicle gates, one pedestrian gate, and a turnstile into their warehouse, as well as intrusion detection and video intercoms to help them manage visitor entry.

One of the vehicle gates included dual height IP intercoms for communication from cars and trucks—back to their logistics office for convenience.
