Founded in 2012, Black Button has swiftly gained a reputation for its commitment to quality and innovation in the industry. Their product range, which features locally sourced ingredients, includes an array of handcrafted whiskies, gins, and other spirits that have garnered both local and national acclaim.

Recently, Black Button embarked on a significant phase of growth, relocating to a new facility and adding fourteen new tanks to their production floor.  That's when they called on Boulter to support their expansion efforts.

Solution

With the new site facing delays, we offered to offload and store the fourteen new tanks in our yard. This service provided Black Button with the much-needed flexibility and assurance that their equipment was in safe hands, ready to be deployed as soon as the site was prepared.

Once the new space was ready, our team efficiently transported the tanks to their new location. Our expertise in handling such specialized equipment was evident in the precision with which each tank was installed, ensuring they were perfectly positioned for optimal production efficiency.
