Martin McCarthy, Sales Manager of Tonnellerie Radoux USA Inc., announced that effective February 1, 2011 Dan Brick of Brick Packaging, who has been representing Tonnellerie Radoux barrels, tanks and Pronektar alternative products for oenology for the last six years in the Upper Midwest, will expand his territory to include the entire Midwest and the East Coast.

With a long career in corrugated packaging behind him, Dan Brick began selling natural corks to local wineries in the Grand Traverse Bay Area of Northwestern Lower Michigan. In speaking with his cork customers, Dan soon realized that there was a need for the coordination of glass selection and product delivery to the area, and Brick Packaging was born. Working in close partnership with his customers to meet their packaging and winemaking needs Dan continued to add to his customer base and Brick Packaging quickly grew into a distribution company offering a variety of quality products from around the world.
