Fort Myers-Based Co-Manufacturer Adds Rotary Lines and New Actives as Functional RTDs Drive Category Growth

FORT MYERS, FL — Burma Brewing, a leading co-manufacturer and innovator in the functional ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage space, today announced a significant expansion of its production capabilities, signaling the company's continued confidence in the explosive growth of functional beverages. The Fort Myers-based facility is adding new rotary production lines and increasing overall capacity to meet the rising demand from some of the industry's top brands.

Burma Brewing has established itself as a trusted production partner for brands operating across the functional beverage landscape, including those featuring Kratom, Kava, Kanna, mushrooms, and a wide range of other functional actives. The company's year-over-year growth reflects a broader market trend: functional RTDs are no longer a niche — they are a primary driver of the beverage industry.

Over the past year, Burma Brewing has played a pivotal role in helping numerous Kratom and Kava brands scale their operations, working closely with clients to increase production output while simultaneously reducing costs — a combination that has become a hallmark of the Burma Brewing partnership model.

"We are excited to see these brands grow and to support them in that growth," said Joe Tolisano of Burma Brewing. "We're adding new additions to our production that allow Burma to adapt and support our clients as they expand. Not only are we focusing on production quality and minimizing our clients' costs — we also provide a system that allows startups to operate without prohibitive upfront investment, with low MOQs, because we understand the industry and we understand that you have to have the funds available to grow."

The expansion includes new production lines, integration of additional functional actives, and the adoption of new technology designed to better serve beverage brands at every stage of their development. Burma Brewing's low minimum order quantity (MOQ) model has become a key differentiator, allowing emerging brands to enter the market and scale sustainably without the capital constraints that typically limit early-stage growth.

As functional beverage brands continue to gain mainstream traction and consumer interest in natural, functional ingredients accelerates, Burma Brewing is positioning itself as the infrastructure backbone of the category — providing the production capacity, technical expertise, and flexible partnership structures that brands need to compete and grow.

About Burma Brewing Burma Brewing is a Fort Myers, Florida-based beverage co-manufacturer specializing in functional RTDs. With expertise across a wide range of functional actives — including Kratom, Kava, Kanna, and mushrooms — Burma Brewing partners with emerging and established brands to deliver high-quality production, cost efficiency, and scalable growth solutions.
