Brenham, Texas-based Independence Coffee Co. has launched its Indie Shot single serve branded products program. The new business unit will focus on expanded opportunities for co-packing, private label and promotional product customization in the single-serve category.
“As a roasting and packaging company, we continue to see a growing need for access by roasters, retailers and grocery markets to a flexible and recyclable alternative for single-serve product offerings,” said Ragan Bond, the company’s co-founder and VP. “We ourselves fought several barriers when trying to launch our single-serve unit a couple of years ago. High minimums, logistical costs and the lack of product flexibility almost kept us out of this market.”
Added co-founder Christi Bond, “Our Indie Shot line of single-serve coffees and teas have been a great success for the ICC brand, and we want to be able to assist others with similar product offering goals in the future. Entering the single-serve market on even the smallest scale can be daunting. ICC has invested in a costly manufacturing and manpower infrastructure that has allowed us to really grow our own line of single-serve products. This investment and resulting increased capacity will allow us to offer a flexible approach for others and assist with logistics and marketing objectives.”
The Indie Shot single-serve format utilizes a 100% recyclable cup that allows coffee to be roasted, ground and nitrogen-packed the same day to ensure the highest standards in flavor, aroma, freshness and customer experience. State-of-the-art filling and packaging lines allow for customer branding customization as well.
Independence Coffee Co. is a fully integrated coffee and tea company with 13 years of retail and wholesale manufacturing experience in Texas. The company’s products include bagged and single-serve coffees and teas that are sold to more than 500 grocery, convenience and specialty stores throughout Texas and the U.S.
