We are a privately backed consumer venture seeking an experienced beverage manufacturing partner to support the development and production of a new drinks brand.

We are interested in speaking with manufacturers capable of supporting the development and production of one or more of the following:

Energy and functional drinks
Protein or nutritional drinks
Wellness / focus drinks
Soft drinks and non-alcoholic beverages
Alcoholic beverages
Ready-to-drink products

We are particularly interested in manufacturers who can support a new brand from product development through to commercial production.

Scope

The selected partner may be required to provide some or all of the following:

Product formulation and development
Ingredient sourcing
Test batches and product sampling
Bottling and/or canning
Packaging and labelling
Quality assurance and testing
Regulatory and compliance support
Commercial-scale production
Storage and logistics support where available

Existing formulations, white-label products or adaptable recipes will also be considered where appropriate.

What We Are Looking For

We would like to hear from established beverage manufacturers, bottlers and production facilities with experience in the Zambian market.

Applicants should ideally provide:

Company and facility overview
Types of beverages currently produced
Production capacity
Available bottle/can sizes and packaging formats
Minimum order quantities
Product development capabilities
Relevant licences and certifications
Indicative production costs where possible
Examples of existing or previous products manufactured
Contact details for the appropriate commercial representative

We are open to discussing contract manufacturing, private-label production, joint ventures or other strategic manufacturing partnerships.

Growth Opportunity

The proposed brand will be supported by significant digital media and distribution capabilities within Zambia, including access to large online, social media and consumer audiences.

We are therefore looking for a manufacturing partner capable not only of supporting an initial launch, but also of scaling production if the product gains traction.

All initial discussions will be treated confidentially.
