Life Roars through us. That’s the Heidelberg Distributing mission statement, or way of life. Heidelberg Distributing honors the fighting lion on the Heidelberg crest; looks to the future with strength, boldness and passion; and represents products that celebrate life.
Family-owned since 1938, Heidelberg is a wholesale distributor of wine, beer, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages in Ohio and Kentucky. Seven warehouse and office facilities cover all major markets in Ohio and Kentucky (and retail accounts in-between): Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Covington, Frankfort, Lexington and Louisville.
The firm is privately held by the Miller and Vontz families and is known throughout the region for high-quality beverages, aggressive sales teams and superior warehouse and delivery service.
Leading the company are Co-Chairmen Vail Miller and Al Vontz III. Top executives have a "hands-on" approach to business and work every day to oversee and manage the business.
Dayton is where Heidelberg's founder started out in 1938. Back then, just five years after the end of Prohibition, brewers did not deliver very far from home. Albert W. Vontz was among the first to drive a truck directly from the Heidelberg brewery in Covington, Kentucky 65 miles away to the Dayton market. There he would store the beer in a warehouse, take orders from Dayton retailers and then deliver the beer to local stores.
Today, Heidelberg purchases some 5,000 items of beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages from around the world for the Dayton market. The Dayton facility totals 215,000 square feet and employs 200 men and women.
Heidelberg Distributing is divided into three sales divisions including, the Anheuser-Busch Division, Heidelberg Wine Division and Allied Wine. Retailers are the core customer for each division in and around the Dayton market but Heidelberg welcomes the public to its quaint Gift Shop, dock sales and keg orders.
