ATCHISON, Kan., Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MGP Ingredients, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGPI), a leading supplier of distilled spirits, branded spirits and food ingredient solutions, is pleased to announce the promotion of Amel Pasagic to the newly created position of Chief Commercial Officer, effective today. As Chief Commercial Officer, Pasagic will be responsible for all commercial activities across MGP’s three business segments.

Pasagic joined MGP as Vice President, Information Technology, when the company acquired Luxco, Inc. and its affiliated companies in April 2021. He was promoted to the newly created role of Chief Information Officer for MGP in July that year. Prior to the acquisition, he served in a variety of IT leadership roles with increasing responsibility during his 10 years with Luxco. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from Webster University.
