Quality Built Into Every Bottle

Quality control is baked into everything we do at Matrix Bottling Group. It’s not a final checkpoint or a box to cross off before distribution. Our bottle quality control ensures that your products remain consistent across regions, retailers, and production volumes, without incurring additional costs.

What Is Matrix’s Quality Assurance Program?

Matrix uses a two-pronged approach to maintain our quality standards across bottles and formulations. We invest in extensive staff training to ensure total compliance with regulatory and retail standards. Beverage quality control monitors raw materials, production processes, and finished goods, while bottle quality control ensures packaging integrity throughout the filling, sealing, and distribution processes.
