TricorBraun has acquired Craft Beverage Warehouse, a specialist in digital printing for emerging, mid-sized, and Fortune 500 canned beverage companies. The acquisition is said to expand TricorBraun’s beverage packaging and digital printing capabilities and reinforce its position in the North American beverage packaging market.
“Our acquisition of Craft Beverage Warehouse — a company known for exceptional quality and customer service — enables us to provide beverage customers across North America with expanded packaging offerings and services,” says Brett Binkowski, president for North America at TricorBraun.
“We’re excited to welcome the Craft Beverage Warehouse team to the TricorBraun family.”
Craft Beverage Warehouse is headquartered in Milwaukee, US, and provides digital printing for various canned beverage companies delivering applications such as craft beer, probiotic soda, ready-to-drink cocktails, coffee, tea, and energy drinks.
“At Craft Beverage Warehouse, our commitment to providing a one-stop digital printing and packaging shop for canned beverage companies, coupled with high-quality service drives everything we do,” says Kyle Stephens, co-founder and president at Craft Beverage Warehouse.
“We know TricorBraun shares that same passion. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers with TricorBraun’s support, resources, and investment in our growth.”
Global expansions
All Craft Beverage Warehouse team members will reportedly remain with TricorBraun and continue to work out of the company’s existing locations.
Craft Beverage Warehouse will continue to operate as Craft Beverage Warehouse until early 2026, after which it will be fully integrated into CanSource, a TricorBraun company and provider of can packaging and related services.
Earlier this year, TricorBraun acquired European packaging companies Euroglas and Glaspack, expanding its influence in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Last year, TricorBraun acquired two major Australian packaging distributors, UniquePak and Alplas Products, strengthening its presence in Australia and New Zealand. UniquePak focuses on premium glass packaging, while Alplas Products specializes in metal and plastic drums, fittings, and assembly services.
