The Edge of Beverage

From Brand Owners to Brand Partners

DrinkPAK is the premiere next-generation contract manufacturer of alcoholic and non-alcoholic canned beverages, providing full service support for procurement, batching, processing, filling, packaging, warehousing, and distribution. Founded in 2020,  DrinkPAK is focused on revolutionizing beverage manufacturing by offering extreme capacity and format flexibility through cutting-edge technology and a commitment to the best talent in the industry.

 

The three founders, Nate Patena (CEO), Jon Ballas (President), and Ben Rush (CTO), created DrinkPAK to be a truly brand-centric manufacturer, built upon their years of experience in building, developing, and selling two of the highest growth beverage brands of the last decade.  DrinkPAK's commitment to capacityflexibility, and technology were born out of the battle scars the founders experienced working with traditional beverage contract manufacturers.

Despite facing industrywide challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, DrinkPAK built and commissioned its first facility in less than a year. Now, with more than 1.2 million sq. ft. of production and warehousing space in Santa Clarita (Los Angeles County), California, DP1 is the largest canned beverage contract manufacturing facility in the United States with the fastest lines in the world, capable of producing more than 2 billion cans per year.
