FINANCING

A wonderful idea and a project with a future. And it's a very good example to show that almost every project requires additional funding capabilities.
In such a case BREWTECH leads to credit, mixed and equity solutions. Based on our regional competence, a broad network and industry experience, we have cleared the way to financial completion of many projects.
Fundraising is based on our DUO FEASABILTY STUDY and a financial model matching international audit and banking standards.

PRODUCTION AND OPERATING MATERIALS

We supply all production and operating materials necessary for your beverage plant. You benefit from our experience with a wide range of products and materials selected from the best suppliers.

EFFICIENCY & QUALITY

The BrewTools
to focus your state
and standards.

Technical Audits

Functionality, efficiency and safety in focus.

To ensure functionality and efficiency of machines and to avoid health and safety issues and break-downs, BREWTECH recommends a 3-Step Maintenance Approach:


STEP 1 - A Technical Audit will be conducted six months prior to end of peak season
STEP 2 - A comprehensive Audit Report prioritizes all measures and will be accompanied by a list of recommended spare parts considering OEM procedures
STEP 3 - A Maintenance Service will be conducted after peak season.
Especially Multinational Brewing Groups are continuously optimizing their efficiency. We can decrease your carbon footprint by reducing Water and CO2 Consumption and by leveraging Energy Saving Potentials (ESP). Our specialized teams not only cover Utilities, but go beyond applying our 3-Step Maintenance Approach.
  • Raw material plant
  • Brewhouse
  • Cold-Block
  • Packaging Plant
  • Utilities

We are aware that Breweries sometimes delay maintenance due to various reasons. In this case, it may be appropriate applying our 3-Step Maintenance Approach for critical departments only, showing clear indications of wear and tear.

EVALUATION AND INSPECTION

You want to buy a brewery?

We provide you with an expert opinion of machinery and equipment condition with our BREWTECH Technical Audit based on our systematic AS-IS Analysis. For reactivation or expansion projects this Technical Audit is always the first step. Beyond the AS-IS analysis, our TO-BE design identifies additional investments for repairs and replacements within each brewery department. Sometimes our experts are simply required to inspect machinery and equipment after manufacturing at OEM´s workshop, before shipment at the port or during and after commissioning at your brewery.

TECHNOLOGICAL AUDITS

...to improve process & quality management.

The BREWTECH support team consists of specialists with in-depth process and production experience in the beverage industry. We have the BrewHow to improve process and quality management because we maintain intimate cooperation with the leading research institutions. Many customers contract us to conduct Technological Audits, either on a regular basis or for specific assignments.
