List of Co-packers in Georgia
Georgia is home to Coca-Cola’s global HQ and a dense, mature beverage manufacturing base built up around Atlanta over more than a century.
That means more co-packers to choose from, but also more competition for capacity.
Manufacturers seeking HPP services for their smaller startup should look to Florida, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.

Great option for folks making superfoods, matcha, coffees, etc. They also offer full turn-key services with low minimums. True Spice’s focus looks to be more on powdered and capsule forms of drinks, so keep that in mind.
Custom Beverage Concepts

Tallapoosa, GA 30176
770-574-9899
Website
Email: sharec@custombeverageconcepts.com
Large 100,000 square foot facility specializing in beverage products. Very capable but it appears the focus could be on drinks in powder form similar to True Spice. It might be worth clarifying especially if you make cold fill beverages.
What is a copacker?
A co-packer owns the facility, the equipment, and the certifications. You bring the formula and the relationship. Finding the right one is the hardest part of scaling a beverage brand — most aren’t listed anywhere useful, don’t respond to cold email, and won’t take on a new client without a referral or a minimum order that rules out early-stage brands entirely.
