Electromechanical Technician

MicroStar Logistics is built on the simple idea that sharing is better. We provide a comprehensive shared-keg solution designed to eliminate the inefficient and costly method in which kegs have traditionally been owned, tracked and retrieved by breweries. The company manages a pool of over 6 million shareable kegs and the corresponding logistical needs for brewery customers. By sharing kegs rather than owning, our customers reduce the distance empty kegs travel lowering our collective carbon footprint by over 10 million kg of CO2e. This cost-effective outsourced solution also enables our customers to preserve capital, improve quality, and focus on core competencies such as production and marketing. These benefits, combined with MicroStar’s CUSTOMER FIRST! philosophy, have allowed us to develop long‑term, exclusive partnerships with many of the world’s best brewers including approximately half of the 50 largest breweries in the U.S. MicroStar’s 30‑year track record of growth is set to continue for the next 30 years through growth in our core business as well as continued geographic and service diversification. Through MicroStar’s acquisition of Kegstar, a leading keg solutions provider in markets including the UK, Europe and Australia, MicroStar is positioned for transformative growth globally. Additionally, our network of 1,500+ beer distributors is unequaled and provides a platform for products and services beyond kegs further expanding the company’s growth potential, beginning with the launch of reusable pallet management in 2023.
