Why Choose LDB
LDB Beverage is more than just a co-pack facility; it is a production partner with an SQF II Certification, working to build solid relationships that add value to products and processes. We have found that traditional “co-packing” relationships have too often been filled with too little information, a lack of collaboration, and a fair bit of adversity. We are replacing that with collaboration, transparency, and the spirit of win-win business. We offer a variety of engagement packages, which allow our partners to be involved in the back-office portion of their production business to the extent they feel is the most appropriate, adding value to both organizations.
