At Amorim Cork America, innovation and tradition move forward together. As the North American arm of the world’s leading cork producer, we bring wineries the most advanced, sustainable, and performance-driven cork solutions—backed by rigorous science, transparency, and a deep respect for wine.
At Unified, we’re proud to present how cork technology has evolved to meet the needs of today’s winemakers. From premium natural corks to next-generation technical closures, every solution we offer is designed to protect wine quality, deliver consistency, and support long-term brand success.
Innovation you can trust
Amorim continues to set the global benchmark for cork performance through significant investment in R&D and quality control. Our industry-leading NDtech® technology individually screens corks to the nanogram level, delivering an unmatched TCA-free performance guarantee. Paired with our patented Sealiability® system—these tools allow us to offer exceptional bottle-to-bottle consistency.
Advanced X-ray sorting, visual inspection, and continuous process improvements are integrated throughout production, ensuring reliability across all cork categories and price points.
A complete, modern closure portfolio
At Unified, you’ll see the full range of Amorim solutions, including:
- Premium natural corks for wines where tradition, ceremony, and aging potential matter most
- Technical and micro-agglomerated corks, including options made with plant-based binders and zero plastic microspheres, designed for consistency and accessibility
- Helix® closure technology, a breakthrough cork-and-glass system that combines the sustainability and sensory benefits of cork with the convenience of twist-off opening—no corkscrew required.
- BeeW® technology, an innovative, bio-based coating system.
- Qork®, a micro-granulated cork with a natural, plant-based binder that delivers consistent performance, supercritical fluid Xpur® technology and a TCA-free guarantee—without plastic microspheres
- Xpur® is Amorim’s proprietary supercritical CO₂ extraction technology, the most advanced and eco-efficient anti-TCA system for micro-granulated cork stoppers. This process removes TCA and other volatile compounds while preserving the cork’s natural properties, resulting in non-detectable TCA levels and a clean, neutral sensory profile.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team works closely with winemakers to align the right closure with varietal, aging goals, bottling conditions, sustainability priorities, and brand positioning.
Sustainability is our foundation
Cork is one of the most sustainable packaging materials available, and sustainability is embedded in everything we do. Amorim was the first cork company to achieve FSC® certification and has published a comprehensive sustainability report annually since 2006. Our corks are renewable, recyclable, and carbon-negative—helping wineries lower their environmental footprint while enhancing wine protection.
Here in Napa Valley, Amorim Cork America maintains a strong local presence through our facility, technical teams, and community engagement, while globally we continue to lead the closure industry in responsible forestry, lifecycle analysis, and continuous improvement.
Your partner beyond the cork
Amorim Cork America is more than a supplier—we’re a partner. In addition to closures, we provide technical support, lab analysis, closure trials, and education, giving winery teams a deeper understanding of cork, wine chemistry, and closure performance.
