DARIEN, Conn., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ultra Pure, LLC, a leading U.S. supplier of bulk alcohol and high-proof spirits, is pleased to announce the promotion of Jennifer Pond to Vice President of Beverage Sales. A dedicated member of the Ultra Pure team since 2015, Pond’s promotion reflects her outstanding leadership, deep industry expertise, and consistent contributions to the company’s growth in the beverage alcohol sector.
Jennifer began her career at Ultra Pure as part of the beverage sales team and steadily advanced into the role of Beverage Sales Manager, where she played a key role in expanding the company’s footprint across the craft distillery and RTD (ready-to-drink) markets. Over the past decade, she has developed strong customer relationships, led strategic sales initiatives, and helped position Ultra Pure as a trusted partner to beverage producers nationwide.
In her new role as Vice President of Beverage Sales, Jennifer will oversee all beverage-related sales operations, focusing on continued expansion within the RTD category, private label development, and bulk spirits supply. She will also lead customer engagement strategies tied to Ultra Pure’s expanding infrastructure, including its state-of-the-art Kentucky DSP facility, which features over 1 million gallons of storage capacity, blending capabilities, and dedicated resources for RTD ingredients such as sugar brew.
“Jennifer’s promotion is incredibly well deserved,” said Niels van der Kloot, President of Ultra Pure, LLC. “She has grown with the company over the past decade and understands our customers, our products, and our long-term vision better than anyone. As we continue to expand—particularly with the capabilities of our Kentucky facility—Jennifer’s leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our position in the beverage alcohol market.”
