Scotch whisky business Inver House Distillers, behind brands including Old Pulteney and Speyburn, saw pre-tax profits jump by 23.5 per cent last year despite challenging trading conditions in a number of markets.
Overall sales rose by 2.8 per cent to £79.2 million but growth in its key brands was at 11 per cent with particular success in markets including the UK, US, Germany, Poland and a number of African countries.
Profits increased to £11.8m and total capital expenditure more than doubled to £10.2m from £4.7m as Inver House Distillers' managing director Graham Stevenson, pictured, said it continued to invest for the future.
"The year has also strengthened our determination to build our brands, with strategic investments being made to meet the numerous and diverse challenges and uncertainties that the industry undoubtedly faces globally. There are challenging times to come but we remain confident about our strategy and the opportunities for our brands and our industry."

INVER HOUSE DISTILLERS
Company Overview
Founded in 1964, Inver House Distillers is the Group's wholly owned Scotch Whisky subsidiary. Within its portfolio there are five distilleries - Pulteney, Balblair, Knockdhu, Speyburn and Balmenach - each producing its own distinctive, individual single malt whisky.
Inver House is also highly active in the warehousing and blending of Scotch whisky, with its main warehousing and head office being centrally located in Airdrie. This is perfectly placed to service the international marketplace with warehousing for 500,000 barrels of whisky plus state of the art blending and laboratory facilities.
Inver House produces more than just whisky, currently distilling the premium brand, Caorunn Gin at Balmenach Distillery and also produces vodka brands from its Airdrie site. From its range of whisky, gin, and vodka Inver House invites you to enjoy this unrivalled collection.
Inver House Distillers was established in 1964 as a subsidiary of the American company, Publicker Industries. In the 1970's the Scotch Whisky industry faced competition from other spirit categoreis and coupled with the death of its American Chairman, Publicker Industries did not focus its business interests in its Scottish subsidiaries. As a result of this, the malt and grain distilleries at the Scottish site in Airdrie became surplus to requirements and were closed in 1985 and 1986.
The substantial warehousing, blending and office facilities all remained, and do so to this day, as do the state of the art Gin, Vodka and Cream Production Facilities.
However, following the takeover by the management team in 1988, and the revival of the Scotch Whisky industry, Inver House Distillers purchased 5 highly regarded malt distilleries over a period of 9 years. Since then Inver House has gone from strength to strength in its commitment to a worldwide market. This continued commitment was recognised in 1992 with the granting of the Queen's Award for Export Achievement.
In October 2001, Inver House entered a new chapter when it was purchased by Pacific Spirit (U.K.) Ltd, now International Beverage Holdings Limited (InterBev) - the international arm of Asia's leading drinks business, the Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev) with an outstanding portfolio of beverage alcohol brands across spirits, wine and beer categories.
Being part of a larger group ensures the company's continued success in an increasingly competitive market place.
