Supporting Safety in Distilling — Opus at the 2025 DSPA Conference

In October, Opus Integration was proud to be a sponsor for the annual Distillers Safety Professionals Association (DSPA) Conference, held in Covington, Kentucky. The event brought together safety managers, operations teams, consultants, and vendors from across the distilling industry — all united by one goal: advancing safety and reliability in distillery operations.

A Gathering Focused on Safety and Innovation

The DSPA Conference once again served as a cornerstone event for professionals in the distilling industry. Attendees exchanged insights on process safety, facility design, environmental compliance, and emergency response — all essential components in keeping operations safe and sustainable.

Sessions covered a wide range of topics, from human-factors in operations to new technologies shaping the future of plant safety. The conversations emphasized collaboration and shared learning, two values that strongly align with Opus Integration’s approach to industrial partnerships.
