With extensive manufacturing operations across the US, including over 20 wineries, production plants, and distribution centers, and a workforce of over 7,000 employees, the California-based company is a leader in the alcoholic beverage space.

In May 2025, Gallo launched a pilot project in one of its spirits production facilities that included digital work instructions and smart checklists workers can leverage at the point of work.
