Apple Rush Company, Inc. has recently completed a major expansion of its Lena Brewery, marking a significant step forward in its production capabilities and market positioning. This phase two expansion introduces specialized areas for brewing botanical beverages and beer, equipped with advanced technology for strict fermentation control, ensuring the highest product quality.
The upgraded facility now includes a 70-ton chiller, an additional 200 barrel capacity specifically for botanical beverages, and an advanced inline carbonation system tailored to meet the company's unique production needs. These enhancements allow Apple Rush Company to produce up to 30,000 cans daily, with ambitious plans to increase production to one million cans per month during a standard five-day work week. CEO Tony Torgerud highlighted the strategic importance of this expansion, noting the considerable capital investment and team effort involved in reaching this milestone.
Looking ahead, Apple Rush Company is considering extending operations to a seven-day work week to further maximize production efficiency and improve investor returns. This move is part of a broader aggressive growth strategy that includes updating multiple production sites and launching a comprehensive social media and public relations campaign. The company remains focused on its existing product lines while also exploring new opportunities within the rapidly growing botanical beverage category.
With over 50 years of experience in the natural beverage industry, Apple Rush Company is poised to strengthen its position as a leading distributor of organic and natural products, including its anhydrous hemp oil offerings across the nation. This expansion not only underscores the company's commitment to quality and innovation but also its readiness to meet the increasing demand for natural and organic beverages in the market.
