The First Round helps you bridge the gap between the Soda Stream and the factory, providing access to automated manufacturing technologies on a small scale.
Our first-of-its-kind scale-up hub mimics the processes of full-scale factories, producing truly representative drinks samples and solves technical problems before launch.
Using top-of-the-range test equipment, you can fill, seam, pasteurise and sleeve samples of 20 to 100 litres all in one place.
We leave commercial production to co-manufacturers. Instead, we provide brands, developers, ingredient suppliers and industry partners the opportunity to test concepts in a low-cost, low-risk, controlled environment.
