NuZee to gain access to 50 co-packing machines at Farmer Bros. facility
NuZee Inc. (doing business as Coffee Blenders), Plano, Texas, and Farmer Bros. Co., Northlake, Texas, announced a strategic partnership under which Farmer Brothers will provide access to manufacturing capacity as NuZee continues to roll out new coffee and tea products in the United States. Under the agreement, NuZee may place up to 50 co-packing machines in Farmer Brothers' 500,000-square-foot, SQF-certified, zero waste facility in Northlake, Texas.
These machines would ultimately have the capacity to produce up to 300 million single-serve tea bag, coffee pouches and pour over drip cups, the companies say. By pairing Farmer Brothers' manufacturing and distribution capability with NuZee's technical expertise and products with proven demand in Asia, the partnership is expected to accelerate the scale-up in the United States and efficient delivery of NuZee's innovative products to coffee companies and branded businesses, it adds.
