Wright Beverage Distributing’s story begins in 1953 with its three founding partners: Claude G. Wright (Sr.), Robert E. Wisner, and Bruce E. Wright. In these early years the company distributed for three primary brewers: Joseph Schlitz Brewing, F.X. Matt Brewing Co., and Molson Breweries of Canada. Claude’s son, Claude H. Wright, CEO, purchased Wright Beverage Distributing in 1977 from all three owners, after seven years of employment as an Assistant Vice President in corporate banking with Marine Midland Bank. Throughout Claude’s tenure as owner and CEO, the company has grown from 500,000 cases and 28 employees to over 16.5 million cases and more than 625 employees. The family legacy lives on with Tessa Tobin working with her father, Claude, as a third generation owner.
