The idea of bottling Wisconsin’s signature old fashioned launched Arty’s Premium Beverages in 2012, and today the company makes more than 25 house-brand products.
But Arty’s is more than your favorite supper club beverage: It has a rapidly growing contract packaging portfolio, producing 250-plus products for 93 customers, says Timothy Pappin, president. The company’s reach has expanded through “strategic partnerships, brand collaborations and a growing network of co-packing clients.”
Arty’s biggest challenge has been scaling infrastructure as fast as demand, which it’s done by “continued investment in equipment, processes, and people — building capacity before it was critical,” Pappin says.
On that front, the company plans to expand into a new production facility to “significantly increase capacity, efficiency and ability to serve a growing number of beverage partners.”
