Companies of the Year POM Wonderful's Tupper and Miller's Adami with Beverage World's Francella and Beverage Marketing Corporation's Bellas Following his keynote, Adami accepted the Beverage Forum Company of the Year award in the $1 billion or more category on behalf of Miller Brewing. However, he didn’t think the brewer should get all the credit for the progress the company’s made in its turnaround process. “I believe it should be Business System of the Year. Any success that we achieve or any performance turnaround that we achieve is inextricably linked to our business partners, and most especially our distributor partners.” In the under $1 billion category, POM Wonderful was this year’s honoree. COO Matt Tupper accepted on behalf of his company. “When we launched the product, which was now two and a half years ago, and began selling it in the marketplace, what we had was a concept, a dream and a bunch of pomegranate trees that were starting to bear fruit.”
