Our roots go to 1998 when a gentlemen stood in front of the small Business Camp, we were attending in Keystone Colorado and made a bold claim “I am going to change the beverage game” by launching a small, skinny, blue and silver can in San Francisco later that month…enter Red Bull. Then in 2000, our founder, had the opportunity to launch Rockstar Energy Drink in the Pacific Northwest and later the Midwest. From selling it out of his car to developing the market…he learned the business from the streets to the boardroom. Our core team was also an instrumental part of launching, managing, and developing Rockstar. You can say…we have been around the beverage scene…for more than a minute.
We launched our first brand Liquid Charge an energy alcohol drink in 2004. In fall of 2005 we got our first call to help with a private label project commissioned by a large regional convenience chain to develop a custom branded energy drink. In 2006 we saw our first private label product come to life. At AXIS, we have worked on, owned, managed, developed, and or counseled many fun and exciting beverage brands and companies spanning all the categories in your favorite retailer. Kombucha to Vodka and Spirits, Beer, Tea’s, Coffee, Cold Brew Coffee’s, Flavored Syrups, Concentrates, Bag in the Box, and yes…of Course…Energy Drinks. If it’s a beverage…AXIS can or have done it.
We have worked with the biggest and best as well as the growing regional powerhouses. It’s our mission to deliver profits, scale, innovation, and of course the best tasting and performing beverage products and brands. Our roots do come from sales and marketing and our team is comprised of experienced professionals with proficiencies in co-packing, CPG, beverage development, packaging, logistics, food quality and safety, and everything it takes to deliver your brands from “Concept to Reality.”
AXIS is your concept to reality, turnkey Custom Brand Partner.
Having taken hundreds of items to market, we understand all of the challenges surrounding this industry. From formulation, flavoring and packaging, we will help guide you through the process from start to finish while avoiding the pitfalls often encountered in beverage creation.
We have been on quite a tear lately having taken 51 SKU’s to market across 7 beverage platforms in the last 5 years.
AXIS is based out of beautiful Bend, Oregon. While located in the NW, we work with partners throughout the country in all phases of our business and will work to make your geographic needs a reality.
Tim Baggs, the founder and CEO oversees the companies day to day operations. With AXIS, you will have one initial point of contact throughout the development process that will coordinate with the AXIS team to get your project across the finish line.
We typically start with a video conference to get a baseline understanding of your goals. During this meeting we will also learn where your project currently stands from a 10,000 foot view and discuss next steps and a rough timeline on those steps. We make the development process as smooth and rewarding as possible.
