If you’ve ever wandered through Chalan Kiya next to the Seventh Day Adventist School, you might have noticed a certain energy buzzing around the Marpac facility. Nestled between warehouses and a vacant lot, Marpac has been on the move, literally and figuratively, celebrating its 50th anniversary with a series of exciting expansions and innovations.
Out with the old, in with the new – warehouse edition

One of the most significant changes is the upgrade from an already impressive warehouse to a colossal new one. Think bigger. Think more. The Marpac team embraced the challenge and brought in a warehouse that could house the dreams of any sports and entertainment enthusiast. Marpac’s resident manager, Guy Pudney, gave us details on this expansion.
From one conference room to three, including a slick bar/training area, this new space is more than just storage. It’s an experience.
And parking? They’ve got that covered too. With a whopping 46 parking spaces, there’s plenty of room for customers to swing by and load up on their favorite Marpac goodies.

But that’s not all – the new warehouse boasts outside decks, both top and bottom, perfect for hosting parties and gatherings. The loading docks? Doubled from four to eight containers. It’s not just a facility; it’s a celebration waiting to happen.
Expanding horizons and brands
Marpac isn’t just growing in physical space; they’re expanding their product offerings too. Pudney mentioned, “Our expansion in brands usually just lands in our laps.”

Thanks to partnerships with global players like the Bacardi family, Marpac now proudly stocks Patron – because every celebration deserves a touch of class. And when Budweiser acquired a new brand, Marpac was right there with them, bringing the latest and greatest to CNMI.
Speaking of staying current, Marpac is putting the finishing touches on their new website, www.currentcnmi.com. This digital space will showcase their ever-growing range of products and services, making it easier than ever for customers to explore the Marpac universe.
Island-hopping and looking forward
Marpac’s influence isn’t confined to the CNMI; it’s spreading across the Pacific. They’ve recently expanded to American Samoa and Western Samoa, with an eye on even more territories in the future. It’s not just a business move; it’s a mission to bring the Marpac spirit to as many corners of the territories as possible.
Customer first always
Through all these changes, one thing remains constant at Marpac – their commitment to customers. “Without them, Marpac wouldn’t be where it is today,” Pudney confirmed.
The team takes pride in their customer service, going beyond the sale to ensure that every product they offer brings joy and satisfaction.
But it doesn’t stop there. Marpac goes the extra mile (or maybe an extra island) – from merchandising and dressing up displays with eye-catching materials to running promotions that make every visit an event. They don’t just gauge market share; they actively contribute to shaping it.
In terms of the beer business, Marpac isn’t just in it for the brew; they’re in it for the cheers, the celebrations, and the memories. Here’s to Marpac – 50 years strong and still raising the bar. Cheers!
