S.K.I.L.L.S.

Choose the only beverage resource with S.K.I.L.L.S.™

Have you ever heard the joke which asks what is the difference between practice and theory? The answer: in theory, nothing – in reality, everything. It works the same way in a food lab. Food and beverage scientists who have spent their entire careers alternating between academic and research environments – without the benefit of hands-on manufacturing experience – are severely handicapped by the narrowness of their experience. Without ever engaging in the commercialization of their work, food and beverage scientists routinely create elegant solutions which work well in a lab environment but which cannot be effectively transferred for full-scale commercial production.

Imbibe's S.K.I.L.L.S.™ – The Sumner Katz Integrated Lab & Life System – ensures that our entire technical staff is thoroughly familiar with the challenges involved in real world manufacturing, or in other words, life. Our multi-disciplinary approach, as developed and refined by Imbibe, is as unique, practical and revolutionary as the company's founder for whom it is named. The Imbibe's S.K.I.L.L.S.™ training program ensures that no one at Imbibe remains sequestered in a single technical silo. Our chemists and scientists interact regularly with manufacturing facilities, while our production staff and quality assurance professionals spend substantial time inside our flavor and product development laboratories. This collaborative process ensures that Imbibe's entire technical team remains equally familiar with emerging trends and technologies as they do with engineering efficiencies and production optimization.

The visible result of this methodology to the brand owner is that project requests initiated through benchmarking existing products or through elaborate brainstorming sessions, quickly evolve into tangible, flavorful and producible drinks. Imbibe's unrivaled ability to deliver on time and on taste is a direct function of how we have seamlessly integrated our technical, scientific and commercial functions. The choice is yours: Do you want your beverage or flavor supplier with S.K.I.L.L.S.™ or without?
