CoreBev Announces Strategic Partnership with Markavo to Bring Trademark Protection Services to Emerging Beverage Brands

Waterbury, CT — May 3, 2026 — The CoreBev Group Inc., an award-winning beverage manufacturing company and spirits innovation platform, today announced a new strategic partnership with Markavo, LLC, a national trademark services provider known for its affordable, flat-rate U.S. trademark solutions.

The partnership is designed to give CoreBev’s growing network of beverage founders, spirits entrepreneurs, co-packing clients, and brand partners direct access to trademark support through a dedicated, co-branded onboarding experience. Under the agreement, Markavo will provide CoreBev-referred clients with priority service, a dedicated point of contact, and a streamlined pathway for protecting brand names, logos, product lines, and related intellectual property. The agreement establishes Markavo as CoreBev's preferred legal IP partner, providing enhanced service levels for CoreBev-referred clients.

As CoreBev continues expanding its portfolio of craft spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, private-label programs, and beverage incubation services, the company identified trademark protection as a critical need for early-stage beverage companies looking to launch, raise capital, enter distribution, and protect their long-term brand value.

“The co-manufacturing side of CoreBev has always been about more than just bottling and canning; that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” said Stelios Stavrianos, Founder of CoreBev. “We are building a large ecosystem for beverage entrepreneurs, one that supports formulation, production, branding, compliance, packaging, distribution strategy, and now, through this partnership with Markavo, access to trusted trademark protection. For emerging brands, securing intellectual property early can be the difference between building something valuable and leaving the most important asset exposed.”

Through the partnership, CoreBev clients will have access to a dedicated Markavo landing page, a dedicated Markavo attorney, reduced pricing, and priority consultation opportunities. Markavo is also providing CoreBev clients with exclusive digital benefits, including SMS reminders for key deadlines, voicemail alerts for important due dates, improved docket tracking, and a centralized online portal where clients can view trademark statuses in one place.

The collaboration is especially valuable for alcohol and beverage companies, where brand protection often intersects with complex regulatory considerations, including TTB approvals, COLA filings, product classifications, and label development.

A Markavo spokesperson said: “We are thrilled to partner with CoreBev, an award-winning innovator whose bold global portfolio of craft spirits, including Kavo Rum, Adversary Whiskey, and others, perfectly embodies the creative, forward-thinking brands we love to protect. This collaboration lets us extend our affordable, flat-rate U.S. trademark services directly to CoreBev’s network and the broader spirits community, helping visionary beverage makers navigate TTB/COLA complexities, secure their IP, and focus on what they do best: crafting exceptional drinks. We couldn’t be more excited about empowering the next generation of iconic spirit brands together.”

CoreBev’s own brand portfolio includes Kavo Rum, Moonlight Barista, Adverasry Whiskey, The Cocktail Chemist, Cylinder Vodka, Connecticut Distilling, Pasha's, and other craft spirits and ready-to-drink beverage concepts. The company also works with founders and outside beverage brands through co-packing, formulation, production, and commercialization services.

The Markavo partnership reinforces CoreBev’s broader mission: to become a full-service growth platform for the next generation of beverage brands.

“Every great beverage brand starts with an idea,” added Stavrianos. “But ideas need infrastructure. They need protection. They need execution. This partnership gives our clients one more tool to move from concept to launch with confidence and speed.”
