1937.

The Great Depression is in full swing and Prohibition has recently been repealed. A young distillery equipment salesman from Ohio named Cliff Buzick visits Bardstown, Kentucky, the production center for America’s bourbon whiskey industry. His sales pitch gets a warm reception. He makes a few sales. Yet what he learns from his customers proves to be far more valuable than the sales receipts they generate; there is no one to install the expensive equipment.

Quick to seize this opportunity, he returns to Ohio, packs up his family, and moves to Bardstown. Soon, a new office opens in the historic, central Kentucky town - the Buzick Construction Company.

Since its beginning in 1937, the Buzick Construction Company has been an integral part of the distillery industry, having built hundreds of whiskey warehouses and other industrial structures for distilleries throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. With some of those distilleries, Buzick has a working relationship that goes back to the very beginning of the company, a testament to their satisfaction with Buzick’s quality work.

In recent years, Buzick has expanded its client list to include many industry giants in a wide range of fields. Today the distillery trade accounts for less than half of Buzick’s contracts due to the growth of other industries in the region. However, this family-owned business has not let this growth destroy its character or damage the excellent reputation it has gained during its sixty plus years of quality work. Instead, the commitment of Cliff Buzick, our founder, to give “quality work on time” lives on in his successors, a commitment that will make a real difference in the execution of your project.

We’re the Buzick Construction Company, and we want to work with you.
