The LaMantia family has owned and operated L&F Distributors,a Budweiser wholesaler in south Texas, since 1977.  Today, L&F Distributors employs over 1,100 individuals, with 7 locations serving 53 counties in Texas and New Mexico.  L&F serves a territory encompassing over 109,000 square miles, which is an area larger than the states of Vermont, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Delaware, and Maryland combined. Also, L&F consolidated market share is approximately 70%, in the markets they serve, making them the best performing Budweiser distributor in the United States.  

Additionally, in 2008 the LaMantia family founded BevCap Management, LLC a captive insurance agency created to help beer distributors take control of their insurance costs and claim handling, while providing better care for their employees.  Coverages include Health Insurance, Employee Benefits, Workers’ Compensation, General and Auto Liability.   Today BevCap consists of over 30 member-owners across the United States and has grown to manage multiple captive insurance companies across an array of  industries. 

In 2002, Mr. LaMantia helped establish the Stars Scholarship Fund, to support South Texas Academic Rising Stars (STARS) a non-profit organization that awards scholarships to students from south and west Texas.  To date, STARS has partnered with local and national businesses, organizations, colleges, and universities to disburse over $35 million to over 17,000 deserving students.  Unlike most non-profits, STARS commits 100% of every dollar donated directly to scholarships for students.  All STARS operating expenses, including overhead and salaries, are generously underwritten by L&F Distributors.

Despite their decades of success L&F still operates under the simple philosophy of being Humble, Aggressive and Honest.  Remain Humble and thankful for the continued opportunity to serve our clients, be aggressive in finding new and exciting ways to deliver the highest quality products and be honest in all our business dealings.
