What Technical Beverage Services does

Technical Beverage Services, Inc. (TBS) is a U.S.-based aftermarket supplier of precision replacement parts for industrial beverage filling and packaging equipment. Founded as a Tennessee corporation with its headquarters at 120 Leesburg Road, Telford, TN, the company serves beverage manufacturers and packaging operations that run filling lines from major OEMs including Simonazzi, KHS, Crown, Krones, Alcoa, Arol, Cemco, and Moen/Pearson. Its catalog spans over 4,000 SKUs organized across approximately 125 catalog pages, covering filler valves, lift components, actuators, capper knives, gripper chain, rinser components, and related wear parts. The company supports part identification through interactive parts diagrams covering KHS, Simonazzi, Cemco, Crown, Krones, and Alcoa equipment families, and offers scheduled preventive maintenance programs specifically for Crown filling equipment (6-month and annual service options).

TBS manufactures parts in-house using precision machining, injection molding, and custom fabrication, claiming the ability to produce parts for any equipment present in a customer's plant and to meet or exceed OEM specifications at lower prices. The business model is hardware sales of replacement parts on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed, and free samples are offered for quality verification. The go-to-market is B2B direct sales via phone (423.753.4476) and email ([email protected]), with 24/7 contact availability and an emergency number, rather than public e-commerce checkout. TBS holds an American Made designation and has been operating for more than 30 years in beverage and packaging parts expertise. In 2024 the company joined the Excelis Packaging Automation organization, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary alongside Volumetric Technologies (filling machines), SureKap (capping machines), Kraken Automation (conveyance), and AB Technology (label and padding machines), enabling cross-sell into integrated packaging line solutions.
