POTTSVILLE, Pa., April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast
Business today announced D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America's
oldest brewery, is using its Ethernet and phone service to improve
business operations and visitors' experiences in their retail
stores and museum.
The iconic American-owned and family-operated brewery has two
manufacturing facilities in Pottsville,
Pennsylvania and an additional brew house in Tampa, Florida. Since it was founded in 1829
by David G. Yuengling, the company
has grown from a small, regional brewery to producing 2.8 million
barrels of beer yearly for distribution along the Eastern Seaboard
from Massachusetts to Florida. Visitors can tour both the
Pottsville museum and original
brewhouse at the Mahantongo Street building and the Tampa hospitality center and brewery as well
as purchase various products and merchandise in the retail
stores.
"Given our breweries' technology needs, our business has grown
to require faster internet and phone services which results in
better customer service to our consumers, tour visitors and
business partners," said Wendy
Yuengling, Chief Administrative Offer at D.G. Yuengling
& Son. "We've also been able to save time and streamline our
technology operations and invoicing with Comcast."
Yuengling is utilizing a 50 Megabits-per-second (Mbps) Ethernet
Dedicated Internet line, allowing the company to have scalable
internet access, and a 30 Mbps Ethernet Private Line between the
Tampa brewery and the two
Pottsville breweries and main
office. Additionally, the company opted to switch its phones to
Comcast PRI trunks for reliable, high-quality voice service. As a
result, Yuengling's staff and executive team can quickly transmit
large files and data between the different locations, and easily
call between locations, creating greater efficiency and optimizing
operations.
"Yuengling started out as a small business and has grown to be a
leader in its industry. Comcast Business is committed to providing
scalable solutions that fit the business needs of companies
throughout their evolution," said Paul
Merritt, vice president of Comcast Business for the Keystone
Region. "Providing America's oldest brewery with a secure, reliable
high-speed internet infrastructure between its Pennsylvania and Florida operations allows it to function
efficiently and better serve its customers."
