Research & Development

Our fully equipped development laboratory and modern processing plant can provide economical and effective products. Just suggest the flavour profile and the use (syrup, soft drink, spirit) and we will match it from one of our several hundred existing formulations or design one to exactly match your needs. We can supply ready to bottle.

New Product Development: Come to us with your project. We have helped beverage makers from around the world to turn their ideas into a commercially viable industry. From Chinese Dogwood Wine, to Southland parsnip vodka and Samoan Taro Whiskey our work has made these ideas a commercial reality.
