Manufacturers

INTRODUCTION:

A Manufacturer’s License allows the manufacture and storage of alcoholic liquor and cereal malt beverage in Kansas and the sale of alcoholic liquor and cereal malt beverage to distributors and non-beverage users licensed in this state and such persons outside this state as permitted by law.  [K.S.A. 41-305]. See the ABC Publication “Handbook for Manufacturers” for additional information.

Any person(s) working for manufacturers as sales representatives, who work with Kansas liquor licensees and actually solicit or take orders, either in person, over the phone or electronically, for alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage from licensees, are required to obtain a salesperson permit prior to conducting any sales. [K.S.A. 41-333].  See the ABC Publication Handbook for Salespersons for additional information.
