Tiantai Company

What Tiantai Company does

Tiantai Company is a Chinese manufacturer of beer and beverage production equipment headquartered in Jinan, with founding dates referenced as 2001 and 2005 across sources and approximately 19 years of industry experience. The company designs, fabricates, and commissions complete brewery systems ranging from 50L homebrew and pilot kits through 150HL commercial installations, built on 304/316L stainless steel with TIG welding, precision polishing to 0.2–0.4μm, five-stage pressure testing, and configurable brewhouse, fermentation, brite tank, filtration, filling, and control subsystems. It has also extended the same fermentation platform into kombucha, hard seltzer, winery, and distillery equipment, enabling it to serve alternative-beverage producers using a shared manufacturing base.

The business model is B2B hardware sales with quote-based pricing and a one-stop delivery chain covering custom P&ID and layout design, in-house manufacture, export logistics, on-site installation, commissioning, training, and optional financing. Go-to-market combines a direct website/quote channel with local installation service teams in Europe, the USA, Australia, and Canada; industry-event presence (notably a June 2024 exhibition at Riga International Airport); and top-of-funnel content marketing through blog, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter aimed at brewery entrepreneurs. Customer segments are horizontally stratified by batch size — home/hobby, nano, micro, and commercial breweries — plus alternative-beverage producers; named customers span craft brewers and a kombucha taproom across Spain, Rwanda, Romania, France, Germany, Macedonia, Canada, and the USA.

Tiantai is privately held, reports no institutional investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures, and operates with 101–250 employees. It also operates an aftermarket business consisting of a parts and supplies shop (sanitary fittings, pumps, steam and cooling valves, instruments, tools) and a secondary market for used and refurbished brewery equipment. The company's claimed footprint of equipment verified across 2,100+ breweries globally across the Americas, Europe, Oceania, Asia, and Africa is the central commercial asset underpinning its brand and warranty-backed value proposition.
