Summary:
A Finnish product development company is looking for a financial, joint venture, license or manufacturing agreement partner with a brand in beverage business. The company has invented (patents are pending) a concept for producing a beverage concentrate packaged with pressurized CO2 (bubbles) in a small aerosol can.
A glass of cold water can be turned into a hard seltzer. Remarkable savings are achieved in the amount of waste, transportation, water consumption etc.
Description:
The company was established in 1992. It has helped more than 100 new startups to get in business and made some inventions of its own.
The company has lately helped another company in the beverage business and during that time this new invention has been developed.
The invention is a beverage concentrate with alcohol packed and pressurized with carbon dioxide gas into an aerosol can.
A glass of cold water can be turned into a hard seltzer by spraying a shot from the can into the water. About 2 liters of 5% drink (6 ordinary drinks) can be made with a small 150ml aerosol can. This gives huge savings in production costs and waste ( 6 x 330ml cans versus one small 150 ml aerosol can) as well as in weight, space and transportation costs.
The company has manufactured some hundreds of prototypes. E.g. a development project for new tastes has just started. A financial support from the government has been granted for the project.
