Acquisition expands Mancini Beverage’s presence and capabilities across Connecticut
From Staff Reports
Mancini Beverage has completed its acquisition of Dichello Distributors, expanding the company’s presence in Connecticut and strengthening its position as a leading regional beverage distributor.
Mancini Beverage currently operates in Connecticut through Northeast Beverage CT and Levine Distributing, which the company acquired in 2020. The addition of Dichello further strengthens Mancini Beverage’s supplier partnerships and adds greater depth to its portfolio across key Connecticut counties, enhancing the company’s ability to serve customers and support brand growth in the market.
Following the acquisition, the Dichello business will operate as Mancini Beverage Coastal Connecticut LLC and will continue to operate from its existing Connecticut facility in Orange.
Dichello Distributors has served the Connecticut market for generations, building strong customer and supplier relationships and deep local market expertise. The combination brings together two family-owned beverage businesses with a shared focus on customer service, supplier partnership and local execution.
“This acquisition represents an important step forward for Mancini Beverage,” said Jackie Mancini, President. “We are proud to welcome the Dichello team into the Mancini Beverage family and look forward to building on the strong foundation they have established in the Connecticut market.”
“Our goal is to preserve the local relationships and market expertise that have made Dichello successful while bringing the broader resources and capabilities of the Mancini Beverage organization to the business,” Mancini added. “We believe the combination creates a stronger platform for our employees, customers, suppliers, and the brands we represent.”
Mancini Beverage is a multigenerational, family-owned beverage distributor serving Rhode Island and Connecticut. The company distributes a total beverage portfolio, including a broad range of beer, wine, spirits, ready-to-drink, and non-alcoholic products, with a focus on best-in-class local market execution and long-term value for its supplier and customer partners.
