WE HAVE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES
Formulating your beverage and getting it into a can should be an exciting time. Too often these days, working with a co-packer is a stressful, time-consuming nightmare.
We have walked in your shoes building a beverage brand from the ground up. We have worked with co-packers and had everything possible go wrong in a single production run. We have had to pull products from the shelves because of issues a co-packer did not divulge to us.
We have been in your shoes!

Reducing Our Footprint/Sustainability
G&B Filling Station is the first contract beverage packing facility to strive to be carbon neutral and reduce our footprint on the planet. G&B has put in place several initiatives to encourage social and environmental responsibility including:
B-Corp Status
G&B Filling Station will become a Certified B Corporation to meet the highest standards for social and environmental performance
Greywater System
Contract beverage facilities use a lot of water for the cleaning of tanks and machinery. G&B installed a HydraLoop greywater system to capture the water and recycle instead of releasing the water into the community sewer system. Hydraloop is an in-house greywater recycling system that recycles 85% of mains waters, reduces the sewage load and saves energy. The captured water will be used for flushing toilets and watering vegetation.
Inclusive Workplace
G&B commits to fostering a more diverse, more equitable, and more inclusive workplace by creating a culture that embraces unique ideas, perspectives, experiences, and people. The building blocks G&B will follow to build an inclusive work environment are:
Having a voice
Belonging
Sense of uniqueness
Feeling valued
Learning and development
Collaborative environment
Access to resources
Strategic alignment
