Leading wine closure company welcomes experienced team member to fulfill growing demand for Vintop in U.S.
Napa, CA (July 17, 2017) — Vinventions, the parent company of Nomacorc and worldwide leader of complete wine closure solutions, has announced that industry veteran Alexandra Stump has joined the team as a Sales Manager in California. The move marks yet another high-profile appointment as the company continues to grow and expand its offerings outside Nomacorc’s PlantCorc closures, the most widely recognized of the Vinventions brands.
Alexandra, who has over 14 years of experience in the wine packaging business, will be based primarily out of Napa and Sonoma County, and will be responsible with providing customers with Vinventions’ full range of product offerings across the region. In particular, she will focus on Vintop, the high-performance screwcap closure offered by the company. In addition to industry-leading décor capabilities, Vintop offers one of the largest selections of stock and standard color options. “We’re very excited to have Alex onboard,” says Mark Coleman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the Americas at Vinventions. “Her extensive experience, professional reputation and knowledge of the closures market will be an invaluable resource for our U.S. sales team.”
“Alex will be a great addition to the West Coast sales unit,” says Malcolm Thompson, President of the Americas at Vinventions. “We’re confident that her considerable knowledge and winery relationships will reinforce and support the growing demand for Vintop in the U.S. today.”
Prior to joining the Vinventions team, Alexandra was a sales executive at Amcor Flexibles and, before that, a sales and marketing associate at Champagne André Clouet in Bouzy, France.
