Beam Suntory
Beam Suntory is a world leader in premium spirits with a mission of inspiring human connections
“I worked closely with Mike and his team as Beam developed and launched Sourz Fusionz, a flavoured alcoholic RTD. We’d scoped out several potential partners but chose ICB due to its technical competency, quality and competitive commercials. Its flexible “can do” attitude and anticipation of Beam’s requirements reinforced that we’d made the right choice. With extensive NPD experience, ICB was able to steer us towards optimal solutions and ensure we’d covered every technical, legal and quality detail. ICB was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them as a partner for any business looking to source a contract manufacturer and bottler.”
