Comprehensive Capability
Comprehensive capability is the coordinating core of the five key capabilities. It integrates R&D, production, quality inspection, and full-process services, relying on a top-tier industry expert think tank, university-industry-research cooperation, and years of contract manufacturing experience to build an integrated craft beer supply chain system. It accommodates both stable large-volume contract manufacturing and flexible small-batch customization, connecting the entire process from formula development, packaging customization, and scaled brewing to quality inspection, control, logistics, and shipment. This creates a differentiated core competitive advantage in the industry and fully meets the needs of domestic channels, foodservice and gifts, overseas trade, and other types of cooperation.
R&D Capability
We have established a joint laboratory with domestic and international expert consultants and universities, bringing together brewing professors and food R&D engineers from China and abroad. We have accumulated more than 300 mature brewing formulas covering classic craft beer, fruit beer, functional specialty beer, and herbal nourishing beer. We support targeted ODM exclusive formula development, personalized flavor adjustments, and innovative new products. Formula confidentiality agreements are signed to protect customers’ exclusive products. New processes and beer varieties are continuously developed to keep pace with market consumption trends and create differentiated products.
Production Capability
Our large standardized brewing facility is equipped with a fully automated intelligent brewing system and provides full coverage of five categories of independent filling lines. Glass bottles, cans, tinplate kegs, premium aluminum bottles, and large-capacity PET returnable kegs can all be mass-produced in-house. With ample overall production capacity, staggered production scheduling ensures stable supply during peak seasons. Large orders of tens of thousands of tons can be delivered consistently over the long term, while small-batch flexible trial production is also available. In-house production of keg bodies and packaging accessories significantly shortens customization lead times and reduces production costs.
Testing Capability
We have established a closed-loop food safety and quality inspection system covering the entire process, with a professional physical and chemical testing laboratory. Strict three-stage sampling inspections are conducted during raw material warehousing, brewing, and finished product release, and samples from every batch are retained and archived for traceability. We hold complete legal production qualifications and import and export registration qualifications. A dedicated compliance team strictly reviews label copy to mitigate the risks of advertising and labeling violations, while consistently controlling beer flavor and hygiene indicators. All products must pass quality inspection before leaving the factory, ensuring long-term and stable quality for partner products.
Service Capability
We provide one-stop, full-cycle supporting services: free beer sample testing, original packaging design, assistance with contract manufacturing procedures, and guidance for implementing channel product selection; multiple domestic warehouses enable nearby shipment, with flexible logistics solutions. For foreign trade, we provide multilingual labels, customs declaration and commodity inspection support, and export planning. A dedicated representative follows up on orders throughout the process, with rapid responses covering pre-sales product selection, production follow-up, and after-sales issues, providing worry-free implementation services for brand owners, distributors, and foreign trade businesses.
The factory has passed quality management system certification and HACCP system certification. Its products are currently exported to Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Thailand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Monaco, Singapore, Japan, and many other countries and regions
