Keep the beverages you distribute fresh
Choose Kegs for beverage distribution that lock-in freshness and maximise shelf life. KeyKeg Bag-in-Keg™ Technology is an airtight, light-resistant, laminated barrier that prevents contamination by keeping beverages separate from dispensed gas. Beverage distributors can now supply high-quality, flavourful beer, wine, RTDs & cocktails, coffee or kombucha to customers all over the world, safe in the knowledge it will retain its freshness.
Distribute sustainably in a circular economy
Beverage distributors can play a role in protecting the environment with circular-by-design KeyKeg. Raw materials can be recovered from empty KeyKegs to be used for new KeyKegs, rather than being incinerated or used as landfill. The sustainability numbers show that by distributing in lightweight, environmentally friendly packaging, you are helping safeguard natural resources, as well as producing less harmful waste and cutting the amount of water, chemicals and fuel used
Safely protect the beverages you distribute
KeyKeg’s Double Wall™ Technology makes it heavy-duty, reliable and resilient. Beverage distributors can protect the beverages they distribute and increase safety during transport, handling and dispense. Choose Kegs for beverage distribution that safeguard against spoilage and meet all existing safety requirements. For example, filled KeyKegs will survive a 1.5m drop.
Maximise Keg storage and handling
A well-designed, comfortable grip ring and basecup make our lightweight, ergonomic Kegs manageable, with proven stability and easy stacking. KeyKeg allows beverage distributors to optimise warehouse space and load pallets safely. Filled KeyKegs can be moved by hand for effortless distribution; no lifting machinery, trollies, trucks or carts are needed.
Increase awareness of the brands you distribute
Kegs for beverage distribution that display optional custom sleeves will complement your customer’s branding strategy. By increasing brand awareness, beverage distributors may see more business opportunity as consumers demand beers, wines, cocktails, RTDs, ciders, kombucha and coffee from producers they recognise. Custom sleeves will elevate your role in distributing the freshest, most flavoursome beverages.

UniKeg: a solid, safe and lightweight beer Keg
UniKeg provides breweries with the ideal combination of price and quality. In UniKeg, we have developed low-cost beer Kegs for beverage distribution that feature a traditional spear and conventional fittings, while also incorporating KeyKeg’s proven quality, safety, durability and handling
Improve distribution logistics
Transport more beverages per truckload with KeyKeg than with traditional Kegs. Beverage distributors could either save up to 65% on transport costs or distribute up to 25-30% more beverages per load. KeyKeg also eliminates expensive return processes associated with traditional Kegs for beverage distribution. Hospitality customers can flatten empty Kegs too, in preparation for local recycling initiatives, which makes the most of precious storage space.
KeyKeg efficiency for beverage distributors
Bars, hotels, restaurants, pubs, cafés and events demand clean, efficient beverage-packaging, which enables them to offer a wider range of longer-lasting beverages on tap. Beverage distributors recognise that hospitality needs to take advantage of today’s drinking trends. KeyKeg therefore offers them a point-of-difference Keg for domestic and export markets that responds to a broad range of beverage-packaging requirements.
Dispense without CO2
Dispensing beverages using air is a cleaner, greener, easier way to dispense, and it’s less expensive than using CO2, N2 or mixed gas. Because KeyKeg keeps beverages and dispense gas apart, hospitality can dispense almost to the last drop without using any gas. With KeyKeg, beverage distributors can avoid the problems their customers face during CO2 shortages or periods of gas-price instability.
