Leader at FIFCO USA, owner of Genesee Brewery, to leave
Listen to this articleFIFCO, the global beverage company that owns Genesee Brewery, says the CEO of its Rochester-based U.S. division, will leave his position on Jan. 15.
Adrian Lachowski had taken the position at FIFCO USA understanding that it would be a two-year assignment, said FIFCO CEO Ramón Mendiola.
“Adrian has shown deep commitment and strong effort on behalf of FIFCO USA. During his time here he contributed toward building the necessary foundations for the future of the company. I personally want to thank Adrian for his hard work and dedication,” Mandiola said.
Before coming to Rochester Lachowski had headed FIFCO’s Beer and Ready to Drink Division in Costa Rica. He’ll take a three-month sabbatical while the company assesses potential jobs within its Latin American division that would allow him to return.
FIFCO expects to name a new FIFCO USA chief during that time frame, the company said.
FIFCO USA includes Labatt USA in Buffalo; The Magic Hat Brewing Company in Burlington, Vt.; Portland Brewing Company in Portland, Ore.; and Pyramid Brewing Company in Seattle, Wash. The company also owns flavored malt beverage brands such as Seagram’s Escapes and Seagram’s Spiked; and contract-brews beer and other alcoholic beverages for other companies.
