About us

It all started with a buzz

Getting into competitive drink categories is not new for us.  Our first introduction to the mass produced, co-packing beverage business started with us manufacturing our own energy drink. With no experience in the beverage business, we quickly learned a lot about co-packing, packaging, label design, formulation, and beverage sales.  With formulation of an energy drink, it was key to use masking ingredients to hide the vitamin taste from the B vitamins and additional energy drink ingredients.  Our claim to fame with Wild Buzz was our 1 liter energy drinks.  Our favorite customers were truck drivers who liked having a "big gulp" of energy drinks right in their hands. 


After having Wild Buzz in the marketplace, we established a relationship with the 99 Cent Only stores and started selling truckload of our Big Bang Energy Drink to them.  Truckload sales and quick turn around times was what changed our business model and started us helping other companies manufacture their own beverages.


While having our own brand, over 20 years ago, we faced the challenges of competing for line time and waiting on timelines for can productions.  We saw a need to help other companies and from there we formed lasting relationships with

Diversifying our product experience

New Paragraph

Over the last 20 years, our team has helped to co-pack and manufacture beverage products for other customers.  From our beginnings with Buzz, we'v learned from the ground up the beverage manufacturing process.  Not only are we knowledgeable about making a beverage, but we know about selling a beverage too. 


With the energy drinks, beverage sales were at the store level.  There weren't online stores and Amazon may have only been a bookstore back when we had Wild Buzz.  Fast forward to today and online sales is where beverage sales are now.


We've been successful in online sales for one of our non-alcoholic customers.  We are always at the forefront of the beverage trends and understand the consumer and our customer's needs.  Since we've marketed and created our own brands, we know what it's like to be you.  Our team of experts provide our years of knowledge in the beverage business, along with our long relationships with some of the same suppliers we used when we launched our first product. 


Some of the products we've manufactured and distributed as our house brands are listed below.

  • Wild Buzz in the energy drink category, launched at the time of Red Bull, our energy drink came in 12 oz cans, a variety of flavors like mango and peach and a 1 Liter bottle.
