Diageo, the company behind Crown Royal whisky, says it has signed an agreement to sell its bottling plant in southern Ontario. In a statement, a company spokesperson says the agreement involves the Amherstburg facility. The company indicates that it will not disclose the identity of the buyer at this time. Diageo says it will provide additional information “when appropriate.”
The reports describe the announcement as an agreement that has been signed, but they do not specify when the sale would close or whether the plant will continue operating during any transition period. No further operational details, including employment impacts or production timelines, are provided in the available summaries.
Overall, the outlets concur that Diageo is moving to divest the Amherstburg bottling site tied to Crown Royal and that the company is withholding buyer information pending a later update.
