IDC Aseptic Tap Showcased by Döhler at China Food & Beverage Innovation Forum

NEW YORK

International Dispensing Corporation (IDC) (IDND) announced today that Li Xin, Industry Advisory Board member, spoke on IDC’s behalf by invitation at the China Food & Beverage Innovation Forum (FBIF), which took place in Shanghai, May 13-15. IDC’s The Answer®, the world’s only scientifically validated and recognized aseptic tap, was featured at the event’s “Innovation Showcase”, demonstrating how aseptic ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages can be safely dispensed at ambient temperatures from a large-format package, maintaining sterility for weeks without refrigeration. The Answer® is the enabling factor in the first ever foodservice-friendly aseptic package.

During the life cycle management discussion, Mr. Roman Kupper, President of APAC and Board Member of the Döhler Group, a global supplier of natural ingredients and beverage co-packer, presented Döhler’s innovation programs. In bringing ideas to life, Döhler sponsored the conference with its new not-from-concentrate (NFC) juices in the foodservice format equipped with IDC’s The Answer® tap. The system was well received by the industry leaders in attendance.

The FBIF, one of the largest food & beverage events in China, was attended by over 300 global industry leaders, including numerous high-level marketing and innovation executives from PepsiCo, Nestlé, the Coca Cola Company, Unilever, Starbuck’s, McDonald’s, FrieslandCampina, Danone, Huiyuan, Master Kong, Want Want, Yili, and Mengniu Dairy. A number of the companies are evaluating IDC’s technology for China, and the exposure at this year’s FBIF event has accelerated the progress and generated considerable interest.

“The foodservice offering of NFC juice featured at this conference is a true demonstration of collaborative innovation between Döhler and IDC, and we are expanding this partnership to brand owners and distributors. Together, we will bring great quality ready-to-drink beverages to China’s vast foodservice market,” commented Li Xin.
