As the beverage world intensifies its diversity and range to suit the increasingly demanding consumer with change and product innovation.
General Beverages provides the platform for start-up and aspiring brands to create and develop surprising concepts,
to realize and take their ideas into the wider world.
Grounded by our knowledge and experience in flavours, your direct input, such as the target market, process, brand and product application, complete the core of our starting development. By enveloping product application into the design process, this allows us to better understand the flavour interaction as it is applied.
To realize the stories of tomorrow, our team is dedicated to be the most innovative engineer and developer of beverage application. The technical expertise serves alongside the inspirational innovators to drive our passion to reset the “status-quo” and to develop exciting new ideas meet their fullest potential.
Each concept is unique, and the design process is created for the specific concept and taste. Our approach is simple, straightforward, tailored and long term.
Our assistance is centred with flavour development. Developing the best tasting beverage is a complex process that requires a highly skilled and motivated team. This allows you to focus on the branding and presentation – branding has to be done with heart and your target market has to connect with it.

When and why?Do you have a merchandizing strategy? Do you have a market entrance strategy?What are your main sales channels? What's your sales strategy?
