Effective November 2, 2026, Kansas-based MGP Ingredients will rebrand its corporate identity to Sempreon. The move aims to consolidate the group's three business units under one name while honoring the history of the company.
Why it matters
The rebranding effort seeks to unify the organization's Distilling Solutions, Ingredient Solutions, and Branded Spirits divisions. This transition intends to align the corporate structure under a single cohesive identity.
The company reported $46.5 million in gross profit and $27.6 million in adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026. These figures reflect declines of 20% and 23%, respectively, compared to the prior period.
