Vaatje's Mobile Keg & Cask Crimping Unit
This year (2025), Vaatje has developed a new mobile keg & cask crimping unit.
The new unit will allow us to achieve an over-crimped look, adding a new aspect to our state-of-the-art rebranding services.
Being that this new unit is mobile, we can take it directly to our customers. Saving on transportation, which makes it an eco-friendly solution, and will also save time & money for our customers.
Vaatje At SIBA BeerX Liverpool 2024
On the 13th & 14th March 2024, Vaatje attended BeerX at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre. SIBA, The Society of Independent Brewers & Associates, hosts this event every year (since 2013). BeerX UK is the UK's largest beer & brewing trade event, bringing together businesses from every stage of the brewing process.
We had great success at the event, speaking with many new & familiar faces about our extensive range of keg & cask services.
Vaatje's Compact Keg Repair Units
In March 2024, our new compact keg repair unit made its way to France on the first leg of its European tour.
This unit is perfect for small, independent breweries, as it can satisfy their keg servicing needs onsite. The compact size of this mobile keg unit allows it to fit on the smallest of premises whilst still delivering a high-quality service.
Another benefit of using mobile units is the reduced need for transportation, making it much more eco-friendly. Eliminating the need to transport your entire keg fleet will reduce your carbon footprint.
Vaatje At BrauBeviale Nuremberg
In November 2023, Vaatje visited BrauBeviale at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre in Germany. From raw material production to bottling & packaging companies, Braubeviale hosted some of the biggest names in the beverage industry. At the 2023 show, we were among 953 exhibitors & 31,019 visitors!
Catching up with old friends & industry professionals was a highlight for our team. Our new services & innovations were well received, & we had some fantastic conversations both during & after the expo.
Vaatje's First Rebranding Project
This project involved a complete overhaul of our client's fleet. These kegs had various levels of labelling, colourings & imperfections, requiring a full external surface refresh.
All our rebranding projects aim to give the kegs & casks a 'factory-fresh' appearance, restoring them to their former glory. With Vaatje's innovative processes & techniques, we can make your assets look brand new!
Vaatje's First Export Return Load
This year, we successfully completed our first export return load. Handling keg & cask export returns can be extremely time-consuming & dangerous if dealt with incorrectly. Our new process enables safe handling, accurate accounting & the potential to scan RFID or tracking devices on return.
With our team's 70+ years of experience, you can trust Vaatje to manage your keg fleet with the utmost care.
