CASE STUDY

Industrialising home brewing systems for Unilever

Unilever needed to turn an in-home capsule tea machine concept into a high-volume consumer product. ESCATEC refined the initial design for efficient, reliable production and established a dedicated Malaysian factory, complete with injection moulding capabilities, to manufacture these beverage machines. The project demonstrates how early industrialisation support can help consumer products move from innovation brief to scalable production.
