Thinking Worth Drinking.

Beverage innovation & manufacturing partners. We take drinks from the first idea to the full production run.

I’ve got a drink idea I need production capacity

At inu, we believe the best beverages start with great thinking. Ideas that challenge convention. Flavours that surprise. Formulations that solve a problem. And innovations that give people something genuinely worth drinking.

Idea to shelf. One partner.

Most brands juggle a food scientist, a co-packer and a consultant who never meet. We bring the thinking and the making into the same room.

You bring the idea. We bring everything after it.

Formulation, packaging, compliance and a production partner who’s in it with you. For first-time founders and serial makers alike.

More capacity. New lines. Same standards.

Contract manufacturing and product development that slots in alongside your team, from a pilot run to the full production schedule.

Talk capacity

Small idea. Big run.

Every drink starts as a bubble. Here’s how it grows.

  1. Talk it through

    Bring the idea, the napkin recipe, or the product you can’t make enough of.

  2. Make it real

    We develop the formulation and samples you can taste, test and put in front of buyers.

  3. Prove it

    Pilot batches de-risk the recipe, the pack and the costings before you commit to volume.

  4. Run it

    Full production, then scale, with the same team who knew the drink from day one.

Great drinks happen when great thinking comes together.

Intelligent, curious and a bit restless. We question what a drink can be, then we go and make it.
