Franke Beverage Systems is the world`s leading provider of stainless steel kegs. We deliver innovative, effective and environmentally friendly products and services which add and retain value for our partners.
With the experience of contracting with hundreds of breweries, our team of three-tier, industry professionals are skilled in supporting the keg and freight requirements of breweries nationwide. Keg Logistics works with craft brewers to rent new kegs and perform any extra shipping services necessary. If the brewery chooses, we can also ship full products, return empty kegs from distributors and deliver dry goods. We also team with distributors who arrange their own freight. For the brewery with strong local and regional sales, our monthly rates will be very attractive. For distant market keg sales, our empty keg retrieval freight rates and reverse logistics pickup frequency will prove beneficial for the brewery.
