“COPILOT converted our product from cold chain to shelf stable and they were terrific to work with! Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable regarding the chemistry needed to adjust our cold brew coffee's pH for pasteurization, retaining product flavor and organic status...Immaculate, excellent organization. I encourage brands to trust them to co-pack their beverages.”
