Addressing Briess officers and employees, Reiners said Miller takes the P.I.E. award exceptionally seriously and does not present it every year. Briess was selected as a  2007 “Partner In Excellence” in large part because of its ability to do its job as a supplier, and do it exceptionally well. “We don’t have issues to deal with because Briess is taking care of business. And that’s a good thing,” he explained. “It’s obvious that all of you take a great deal of pride in what you do,” he continued, and talked about the partnership that Briess and Miller has formed over the years.

Briess employees were thanked for their hard work and dedication by Reiners and Atthill. “It’s all about you,” Atthill said as they distributed P.I.E. hats and pins to the employees who had gathered inside Briess’s 94,000-square-foot distribution center.

Briess Malt & Ingredients Co. has roots dating back to 1876, and is North America’s leading supplier of specialty malts to the brewing industry. Headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Chilton and Waterloo, Wisconsin.
