4 A L L I A N C E S The nineteen fifties saw the establishment of a subsidiary in Glasgow, namely Dew Hill Blending Company. Today this company still supervises the maturing of young Scottish malts and grain whiskies, from which Mansion House and Glen Classic are blended. Back in the Netherlands, the company entered into strategic alliances with K. Plantinga & Zoon in Bolsward and F.J. Sonnema in Dokkum. U N I T Y In 1972 the name UTO resurfaced when Herman Jansen BV merged with the distillers Vlek & Co. Also a family business, Vlek & Co. placed a similar emphasis on traditional methods and quality. With an enormous distribution network on the domestic market, its foreign network was, however, less highly developed. The situation was exactly the reverse for Herman Jansen. Thus the merger was a natural one in every respect. The new enterprise was given the name UTO Nederland BV. In view of the unity of purpose at work, the letters now stood for U naniem T ot O vereenstemming (United in Agreement). At the beginning of 2001, most bottling in the Netherlands was transferred to AVANDIS, a joint venture in which UTO has a participating interest. This enterprise is now responsible for the entire logistics of the operation, from the purchasing of the basic raw ingredients and packaging materials to the filling of bottles. One benefit of this expansion is increased efficiency.
