● | Global bitters market projected to grow to $14 billion by 2030 |
● | IBC’s award-winning Australian Bitters Company and BitterTales brands have 20% market share in Australia and are set for widescale distribution across the U.S., the largest bitters market in the world |
Seven Hills, Australia, October 8, 2024—Innovation Beverage Group Ltd, (“IBG” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:IBG), an innovative developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands, announced today it is scaling up production of its bitters brands at its Australian distillery and bottling facility by 600% per shift and up to 2000% per 24 hour cycle.
IBG’s state-of-the-art FDA and GMP certified facility, which currently produces 4,000 bottles of bitters per 8-hour shift, will double output to 8,000 bottles per shift in the next 45 days, with further increases to 28,000 bottles per shift shortly thereafter. The facility has the capacity to run three 8-hour shifts per day, bringing the total daily output to up to 84,000 bottles.
“With our rapidly expanding distribution in the U.S., we are investing in the additional equipment needed to ramp production. We believe that at 84,000 bottles of bitters produced daily, we can supply global demand,” stated IBG’s CEO Dean Huge. “Major retail chains and large distributors currently considering adding Australian Bitters Company and BitterTales to their offerings want to see that we have the capacity to meet their volume needs. Following our recent U.S. IPO, we are well funded and positioned to make these investments to meet demand and support our growth.”
IBG’s flagship product, Australian Bitters Company, hand crafted in small batches in Australia from the finest natural botanical herbs and spices, won the Gold Medal at the Los Angeles Spirts Awards in 2018. BitterTales, the Company’s premium cocktail brand, won Best in Show and a Platinum Medal at the 2020 LA Spirits Awards, and a Gold Medal at the 2018 and 2021 LA Spirits Awards.
