Founded in 1964, Inver House Distillers started out as a subsidiary of Publicker Industries, based in Philadelphia.
Following its founding, Inver House Distillers settled on the town of Airdrie to build the the Moffat whisky complex. Located on the site of the derelict paper mill, the complex included the malt whisky distillery, Glen Flagler, and the Garnheath grain distillery.
In 1966, a large bottling plant was opened on the Airdrie site, which also housed Moffat maltings. (the largest maltings in Europe at one point) The malting operation was sold to Associated British Maltsters in 1978.
In 1973 the company bought the Bladnoch distillery in Dumfries and Galloway. However, the slump in demand for whisky (and the death of the company chairman) caused Publicker Industries to sell off its Scottish operations. This resulted in the sale of Bladnoch to Arthur Bell & Son in 1983 and the closure of the Glen Flagler site in 1985, closely followed by the grain distillery the following year. However, Inver House continues to use the Airdrie site’s warehousing and offices as a regional headquarters to this day.
The new century brought with it renewed foreign interest in the company and in 2001 Pacific Spirit (now International Beverage Holdings) purchased the group as the international arm of Thailand-based Thai Beverage Public Company (ThaiBev).
