Manufacturing of Alcoholic Beverages

Breaking into the adult beverage market requires robust support from your bottling company partners, and Matrix Bottling Group is proud to be one of the leading manufacturers of alcoholic beverages in the United States.

Built for Alcohol Brands Ready to Scale

With over 15 years of experience under our belt, the Matrix team helps beverage companies expand their offerings and transform their operations across every product line. Our alcohol manufacturing services are designed to bring sleek, high-quality drinks to store shelves, whether you’re targeting large retailers or small adult beverage stores. As a national bottling company, we help our partners navigate complex operations and compliance requirements without sacrificing speed or consistency.

What Is Manufacturing of Alcoholic Beverages?

At Matrix, we use a co-packing model to produce alcoholic beverages for our alcohol partners. With this method, our partners supply the drink formulation, bottle components, and packaging specifications, and we handle bottling, sealing, and quality control for each production run. Our systems are designed for PET, glass, and aluminum bottles, and can support specialty shapes like ridged or rounded bottles. We also provide private-label alcohol manufacturing services to established retailers looking to introduce new adult beverages to their customers.

Here, we work closely with our partners’ teams to craft a unique, delicious, and responsible drink formulation before moving on to final production. Both programs give our partners full control over their beverages’ taste and branding, while we take care of the operational logistics to get their products on shelves.

Currently our North Carolina flagship location can facilitate production of malted beverages such as hard refreshers and flavored malted beverages with plans to expand capabilities across the three facilities for production of malted adult beverages, distilled alcoholic beverages and wine based alcoholic beverages.
