    Question:What value does a co-packer bring to my business?

    Answer: While value is subjective, you’ve come this far in your business fully aware of the finite limits on time and physical labor. A good co-packer will streamline production and elevate your scale, period.

Georgia is home to Coca-Cola’s global HQ and a dense, mature beverage manufacturing base built up around Atlanta over more than a century. That means more co-packers to choose from, but also more competition for capacity.

Manufacturers seeking HPP services for their smaller startup should look to Florida, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.

For all B to B request such as bulk fruit preparations, fillings and contract manufacturing please contact Julien Bonneval– julien.bonneval@androsna.com

Andros doesn’t do contract manufacturing for beverages per se, but they do specialize in fruits, preserves, and gummy like snacks. Now, within that they do apple sauce pouches, which is sort of beverage like sauce especially when packaged in the drinkable pouch.

So for folks considering private-label apple sauce pouches, Andros might be worth looking into.

Andros is headquartered in France with two fruit-filling manufacturing plants located in Virginia.

What is a copacker?

A co-packer owns the facility, the equipment, and the certifications. You bring the formula and the relationship. Finding the right one is the hardest part of scaling a beverage brand — most aren’t listed anywhere useful, don’t respond to cold email, and won’t take on a new client without a referral or a minimum order that rules out early-stage brands entirely.

Is a copacker necessary for my business?

Depending on the cottage laws in your State, the current stage your business is at, and the nature of the product being manufactured you may NOT have to use a co-packer right away.

In most cases, effective scaling of the beverage will require access to capable, regulated manufacturing equipment.

Manufacturing equipment along with leasing space for the equipment will be extremely capital intensive before production or sales even happen.
