Boombox Beverage LLC

What Boombox Beverage LLC does

Boombox Beverage LLC is a privately held, single-site contract beverage manufacturer established in 2018 in the Chicago, Illinois area (Skokie). The company produces non-alcoholic specialty beverages on behalf of brand clients rather than selling under its own label. Its stated mission is to serve as manufacturing muscle for emerging brands in the non-alcoholic specialty beverage market.

The company's core manufacturing capability is built around a fixed asset base of Stock Retorts, a Crown Filler, an Angelus Seamer, a Likwifier, and a Homogenizer. These systems support production of cold brew coffee, tea-based beverages including lattes, traditional dairy drinks, plant-based milk alternatives, protein-fortified beverages, and custom functional-ingredient formulations. The facility is FDA-registered, SQF (Safe Quality Food) certified, and Orthodox Union (kosher) certified, providing the regulatory credentials required to serve regulated retail and foodservice customers.

Boombox operates a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market targeting emerging and scaling beverage brands. Revenue is generated through negotiated contract manufacturing fees tied to volume, ingredients, and specifications; pricing is not publicly disclosed and there is no subscription or licensing model. The company employs 13 people, maintains a minimal marketing presence centered on Instagram, and has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, parent company, or management-team information in the available data. Geographic reach is domestic (United States) with no claimed international footprint.
