Job Description: ANZ Keg Sales and Collections Specialist
Kegstar provides a comprehensive solution designed to eliminate the inefficient and costly method in which kegs have traditionally been owned, tracked and retrieved by breweries.

Kegstar provides a cost-effective outsourced solution that enables its customers to preserve capital and focus on core competencies such as production and marketing. Kegstar is now family to MicroStar Logistics (“MicroStar” or “M*”) headquartered in North America.
MicroStar was founded over two decades ago with one simple idea: How can we help the world’s best brewers do what they do best? Over that time, and by staying focused on brewer’s needs, MicroStar has become the leading keg solutions provider in the industry in North America. The values that sparked M*’s growth are still at the heart of their business: A “customer first” approach and a strong commitment to people, quality, innovation and sustainability.
