OTB PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

OTB'S HISTORY

In December 2022, Brian Smyth and Nicholas McCarron founded OTB Packing Solutions, blending their passion for beverage industry innovation and extensive manufacturing experience

Their keen insight into the shortcomings of current canned beverage packaging, along with the increasing demand for improved safety, reduced waste, and the convenience of resealing cans, prompted them to develop a new multi-serve platform.

To bring their vision to life, Brian and Nicholas collaborated with a high school student through a cooperative initiative, transforming designs into 3D-printed concepts and prototypes. Following an extensive 12-month testing phase, the CANKAP is now ready for production.

As we look to the future, OTB Packing Solutions remains steadfast in its commitment to quality, sustainability, and progress toward a greener beverage industry. Anticipating future innovations, we are excited to continue leading the way.
