The Children's Beverage Group, based out of Northbrook, Illinois, is a unique beverage company directed at the one billion dollar plus children's beverage market. Established in 1995, TCBG's mission and goal has been to create unique cutting edge products utilizing the latest packaging technology.
The Children's Beverage Group (TCBG) is a manufacturer and marketer of unique products for the children's beverage market. The Company currently produces two product lines: Brainforest plain and flavored spring water varieties and Brainslush, a flavored drink that doesn't fully solidify even when placed in the freezer, producing a slushy liquid that appeals to children and adults alike. Both of these products are sold in a "stand up" aseptic pouch package. Made of PET film, TCBG's packages are see-through and flexible, able to be stored for long periods of time at room temperature, eliminating the need for refrigeration or frozen storage facilities.
These unique pouches include a built-in "Rip it sip it" straw, a patent-pending drinking system. TCBG's process consists of inserting the straw directly into the product-filled pouch during the manufacturing process. The straw is then accessed via a laser score line. The consumer simply tears the film and pushes the straw up from the bottom of the package. Not only is this system convenient, but it eliminates the spillage problem inherent with other drink pouches.
TCBG offers all the key aspects necessary to make significant inroads in the Children beverage marketplace: innovative, kid-friendly packaging, an excellent "flavor profile," a low price to the consumer, and a desirable profit margin to the retailer.

Innovative Packaging: Innovative Manufacturing Equipment
The Company has purchased new Volpak S240DF manufacturing units designed to create the state-of-the-art liquid gusset pouches with the built-in straw system that forms the basis of the TCBG product line. These unique machines are the only ones capable of manufacturing and filling TCBG's exclusive pouch packaging. They are also capable of outstanding production rates: completing up to 120 units per minute.
Each machine has the capacity to produce three million units per year. Based upon a staggered machine delivery schedule in 1998, TCBG will have the capacity to produce a minimum of 90,000,000 drink pouches this year. The resulting sales in 1998 are expected to be $14 million.
For calendar year 1999, the company expects to take delivery on additional machines boosting unit production to over 270 million, resulting in gross revenues exceeding $42 million. By the year 2000, TCBG projects sales at approximately $89 million.
TCBG currently has contract commitments from some of the largest retailers in America that will make use of all of the available production capacity the Company has planned for the near future.
These are private label products each retailer will sell in competition with major brands on store shelves.
