ESCATEC - CASE STUDY listing page

Fever-Tree is one of the world's leading suppliers of premium carbonated mixers and soft drinks, serving millions of consumers every year through its portfolio of high-quality drinks enjoyed in bars, restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues worldwide.

As consumer expectations evolved and hospitality operators looked for greater consistency, ease of service and operational efficiency, Fever-Tree saw an opportunity to rethink how its drinks could be delivered in selected venues. The objective was to create a dispensing solution that maintained the quality, taste and presentation associated with the brand while simplifying service for operators.

As global markets become increasingly sensitive to speed, cost, and disruption, manufacturers of large, logistically complex products are under growing pressure to rethink where and how they build. Traditional centralised production models, once a reliable route to cost efficiency, are increasingly being tested by longer lead times, shifting tariffs, and rising customer expectations for responsiveness.

As ventilation regulations tighten and demand for reliable indoor air quality grows, manufacturers of ventilation products face a common challenge: keeping well-established product ranges in continuous, high-quality production for years after their original launch.

As consumer expectations for comfort, convenience, and sustainability continue to rise, manufacturers of premium water control systems face increasing pressure to deliver innovative products while maintaining exceptional reliability.

One leading provider of smart shower systems and digital water control solutions has built its reputation on delivering premium user experiences, combining advanced temperature control, intuitive digital interfaces, and long-lasting product performance.

Across the UK and Europe, the customer is a leading provider of traffic management systems; the equipment that keeps cities moving safely and reliably. Their portfolio spans the full roadside ecosystem: traffic signals, pedestrian crossings, cabinets, controllers, cable systems, and supporting infrastructure.

OEMs face a growing challenge: product portfolios are expanding, technologies are converging, and supply chains now span hundreds, sometimes thousands, of unique components across electrical, electronic, and mechanical domains. Managing this complexity requires more than transactional procurement. It demands a manufacturing partner with the technical depth, commodity knowledge, and operational discipline to control every part of the process.

When one of the world’s leading innovators in self‑service bag drop solutions and automated baggage‑handling systems set out to scale its next generation of airport kiosks, the company needed more than a manufacturing supplier; it needed a partner who could match the unpredictability, complexity, and pace of global airport deployments.

Airport environments are dynamic. Infrastructure projects come in waves. Installations must be ready long before passengers ever notice them. And because each airport has its own layout, flow, and security needs, no two projects look the same.
