Saxco International

What Saxco International does

Saxco International, LLC is a privately held B2B distributor and value-added reseller of rigid packaging serving North American producers of wine, spirits, beer, cannabis, cider, kombucha, seltzer, energy drinks, and food. The company positions itself as a single-source supplier, consolidating a global manufacturer network into a unified procurement relationship that covers glass bottles (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Hock, Round, and specialty shapes), aluminum and plastic bottles, aluminum cans and can ends, caps and closures, can carriers, jars, and one-way kegs. Headquartered at 2975 Cordelia Road in Fairfield, California, Saxco is led by CEO John Berry and operates as an independent private company with no disclosed parent or institutional ownership.

The company's revenue model combines one-time product sales of rigid packaging with professional services revenue from value-added offerings, including digital print cans, can sleeving, custom glass bottle design, variety and club packaging, direct-to-consumer repacking, and the Revino reusable bottle program. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a sales-led B2B go-to-market anchored by an online quote request system on saxco.com and supported by organic social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The company also markets the Saxco Select private-label sub-brand, targeting spirits and wine producers seeking an alternative to branded packaging.

Saxco distributes across the United States and Canada, serving both enterprise and mid-market beverage and food producers through direct B2B sales and its website storefront. The business carries no disclosed technology platform, AI capabilities, patents, certifications, partnerships, or funding history in the source material; differentiation rests on catalog breadth, supplier-network access, logistics and warehousing support, and the ability to bundle custom design and sustainability consultation alongside stock packaging supply.

• Ardagh Glass Packaging: Ardagh is one of the world's largest glass container manufacturers and a direct supplier of bottles to beverage producers. It is a broad incumbent in the same product category Saxco distributes, though it sits upstream as a manufacturer rather than a distributor.
