Food Processing

S.K.I. Beer is a wholesale distributor of imported and domestic beer, non-alcoholic beverages, ciders and various wine products. Founded in July 1987 by Ralph Mauriello and Charlie Yim. Initially operated out of a relatively small 5,000 square-feet building located in Middle Village, Queens with a total of ten employees. Over the next 6 years, continued growth necessitated a series of moves: first to a 25,000 square foot facility on Stewart Avenue in Brooklyn in 1991 followed by a second move in 1993 to its current 60,000 square foot location on Gardner Avenue in Brooklyn. This move allowed S.K.I. to continue delivering the high-level service that our customers have come to expect. In the 2000, the SKI team has been growing substantially. Our distribution network now reaches beyond the New York City boroughs. With 200 dedicated employees and a highly focused management team, S.K.I. has both the physical capacity and the manpower to continue to be a premier distributor of fine beers, malt liquors and cider. Unlike some other distributors, we actively promote and build the brands that are contained in our portfolio. We provide dedicated teams for both on-premise and off-premise sales as well as a team specializing in chain accounts. S.K.I. currently distributes to Manhattan, Queens, Kings, Bronx, Richmond, Westchester, Putnam, Duchess, and Rockland Counties and all of Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties). S.K.I. expects to continue this growth trend with its mission of maintaining its status as a premier distributor. This commitment is directed not only to our customer base, but we are also highly committed to the suppliers and brands that we represent.
