SBIG & Europa Private Labels Launch the Europa Labs Beverage Development Portal.

A New Digital Way to Develop Private Label Beverages

SBIG – Stavrianos Beverage Industry Group, through its innovation division Europa Food Labs, is proud to announce the launch of the Europa Beverage Development Portal—a secure digital platform designed to transform the way beverage brands collaborate with our Research & Development team.

The new portal allows approved customers to design their beverage concepts online before entering the formulation and production process, creating a faster, more transparent, and more efficient product development experience.

Whether developing an energy drink, functional beverage, juice, iced tea, flavored water, sports drink, or another innovative beverage, customers can now build their concept using our extensive ingredient library while our R&D experts transform those ideas into market-ready products.

A New Standard in Beverage Development

The Europa Beverage Development Portal™ provides customers with an intuitive digital workspace where they can create and submit complete beverage concepts in just a few steps.

Customers can:

Design new beverage concepts online
Browse hundreds of flavors, ingredients, vitamins, herbal extracts and functional ingredients
Select packaging preferences
Define sweetness, acidity and flavor profile
Choose target market and consumer profile
Save and manage development projects
Collaborate directly with the Europa Food Labs R&D team
Innovation with Complete Confidentiality

The platform has been developed with one clear objective: to simplify product development while protecting intellectual property and formulation expertise.

Customers can explore our ingredient library and build complete beverage concepts without access to confidential information such as:

Supplier identities
Formulation percentages

This ensures complete confidentiality while allowing efficient collaboration throughout the product development process.

Powered by Europa Food Labs

The Europa Beverage Development Portal™ is fully integrated with the Europa Food Labs ingredient database, providing customers with access to an ever-expanding library of beverage development components.

As Europa Food Labs continues to add new ingredients, flavors, extracts, sweeteners and functional ingredients to its internal database, approved customers automatically gain access to these new options within the portal, ensuring that innovation never stops.
