Apple Rush Company, Inc. has completed phase two of its brewery expansion, significantly boosting its production capabilities in the functional botanical beverage industry. The company's new facility in Lena now features enhanced infrastructure that will allow for substantial increases in manufacturing output.
The expansion includes a new 70-ton chiller, an additional 200 bbl capacity for botanical beverages, and an inline carbonation system specifically optimized for the company's production style. Critically, the new facility separates canning spaces for botanical beverages and beer to prevent fermentation cross-contamination.
CEO Tony Torgerud highlighted the strategic importance of the upgrade, noting the company's ability to produce 30,000 cans daily with potential for a second shift. This expansion is expected to enable production of one million cans per month during a standard five-day work week, with plans to eventually operate seven days a week to maximize investor returns.
The upgrade represents more than just increased production capacity. It signals Apple Rush Company's commitment to growth in the competitive beverage market, particularly within the botanical beverage sector. By investing in advanced manufacturing infrastructure, the company is positioning itself to potentially capture new market opportunities and expand its product portfolio.
While the company plans to focus primarily on existing product lines, Torgerud indicated they are actively exploring additional labels within the botanical category and are currently engaging with potential new business opportunities.
