Mike Rose
Director of Brands Packaging
For me Ribeiro are the supplier that you ask to do a job and then you get on with other projects knowing that they will deliver the product you asked for, at the time you required, for the price you agreed. Their level of professionalism has guided us through a full range relaunch and the release of a super-premium product, and their support was invaluable.

JC Ribeiro made our vision come to life for the chalice cup of the Belfour Limited Edition Straight Rye Whiskey. We came to them with a unique idea, and their team approached this project with a professional can-do attitude from start to finish. The detailed molding and sterling silver coating is truly stunning. Impeccable craftsmanship! Everyone who holds this special cork agrees.
