Quality ethyl alcohol demand for the industrial and beverage markets continues to grow. The spirits industry is in high gear to produce summer’s refreshing beverages. Vodka and flavored vodkas continue to lead the consumption categories and domestic spirits head the charge. The super-premium import vodkas have lost market share to the more value-priced domestic brands, which has increased demand for domestic-produced grain neutral spirits. GPC remains in the forefront as a supplier of low congener GNS to meet this strengthening demand.

As the domestic economy slowly recovers, industrial alcohol demand has improved across a broad number of industries. Pharmaceuticals, chemical intermediates, personal care products and cleaners and sanitizers have shown steady demand increases. The greatest growth over the past two years has been the hand sanitizer business. You now see the alcohol sanitizer dispensers in nearly every public and professional building. With the flu season just months away, demand will again strengthen for the bacterial killing ethanol articles.

More applications for API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) alcohol have surfaced as the desire to kill new germs in hospital settings multiplies. GPC offers this quality of product from its Muscatine, Iowa, plant with full FDA review and approval.
