Pine State Trading also gets liquor marketing deal

Pine State Trading Co. has beat out two other bidders on a marketing contract for Maine’s wholesale liquor distribution operation.

The Portland Press Herald reported that Pine State, which was a subcontractor for Maine Beverage Co. under the state’s previous 10-year contract, beat out the Portland-based CD&M Communications and Cumberland-based Dirigo Spirit Co. in the categories of “business plan and presentation,” “financial incentives” and “revenue maximization.”

In January, the Augusta-based Pine State won the warehousing and distribution portion of the new 10-year liquor deal that officials expect will generate $450 million for the state over the term of the contract.
