Ireland-based Bevcraft Group, which specializes in canning solutions for craft beverage makers throughout much of Europe, has made a move into the U.S. by acquiring the mobile canning business of Tripod Canning in New Jersey. It is another indication of the growing consolidation within the allied trade industry serving the craft brewing business.
Bevcraft Group provides mobile canning across Europe from bases in Ireland, Norway, the UK and the Netherlands as well as operating can decoration & digital printing plants, wholesale depots, static canning facilities and a quality control lab. They serve over 500 craft beverage clients in 20 countries.
Tripod Canning is a full-service mobile canning company located in Mountainside NJ and specializes in mobil canning for smaller and large craft breweries, cider, and beverage companies. They also offer services such as materials procurement, cans, labels, date coding, seam checking, dissolved oxygen testing, and logistics management.
The hookup allows Bevcraft to set anchor in the U.S. and the deal is the third merger and acquisition completed by Bevcraft in the past 18 months. It is possible that the company may be looking at additional acquisitions of mobile canning companies in the U.S. to expand their reach and increase efficiencies.
