About Air Up

The world first Air Up gives pure water fruit flavor – through scent alone! By separating liquid and flavor, Air Up creates delicious taste without calories, without additives, and without any unnecessary frills. The drinking system of Air Up takes advantage of a clever trick – retronasal olfaction through the mouth. Aromatic air is added to pure water through the scent pods of the drinking bottle while drinking, which is perceived as taste. Filled with tap water, Air Up is not only healthy but also sustainable. Those who use Air Up save not only PET bottles but also CO2. The scent pods (sufficient for at least 5 liters) weigh only a few grams and therefore consume less fuel and volume for transport.

BLITZbee

BLITZbee is a Munich brand for functional beverages, developed by women, for women. We make lemonades that really make a difference: collagen for skin and joints at 11 a.m., caffeine from natural coffee beans for focus at 2 p.m., and protein for recovery at 5 p.m. Maximum 4 ingredients per can. No proprietary blends. No hidden formulas. Read the label. What’s on the label is what’s inside. We founded BLITZbee because we read the labels of most functional beverages and didn’t like what we saw. Real honey instead of sweeteners. Real fruit juices instead of flavors. Three products. Three moments of the day. A brand that tells the truth. We’re at the beginning of our journey — but our mission is clear: to become the functional beverage that women in Germany reach for every day.

Re-Cap Solutions

Imagine a beverage can that is not only sustainable and fully recyclable, but also resealable – an unparalleled advantage for environmentally conscious consumers. Since 1958, aluminum beverage cans have dominated the market, yet one essential feature has been missing: the ability to reseal them. This gap forced beverage manufacturers to resort to less sustainable alternatives such as PET bottles, glass, or cartons, particularly for larger packages. With CanShield, we at Re-Cap Solutions now present a groundbreaking solution that changes the game. We have developed a patented, resealable closure for beverage cans that integrates seamlessly into existing manufacturing and logistics processes. CanShield is user-friendly, cost-effective – even for price-conscious brands – visually appealing, and, most importantly, recyclable.
