What Revival Stillworks does

Revival Stillworks is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of custom distillery equipment, founded in 2019 by engineers Brandon Fry and Darcy Lane and headquartered in Sidney, British Columbia. The company designs, engineers, and fabricates batch distilling systems (pot stills, hybrid stills, stripping stills, gin/rum/brandy/agave/whiskey/vodka/test stills), continuous column distillation systems including a compact configuration that fits 13-foot ceilings, mash cookers and lauter tuns, fermenters, and auxiliary equipment such as pumps, tanks, boilers, chillers, and grain handling. Core technology combines traditional copper smithing in copper, stainless steel, bronze, and brass with PLC-based automation, inline ABV sensing, Wi-Fi remote monitoring, and Class 1 Div 2 / Zone 2 hazardous-area electronics.

Revival serves craft and commercial distilleries (its primary segment), plus breweries/brewpubs and wineries seeking to add distillation to existing operations. It goes to market through a direct, consultative enterprise sales motion — quote requests on the website, a distillery ROI calculator, and a business planning checklist — with custom engineering and shipping globally from a single Sidney, BC manufacturing facility. Pricing is quote-based with stated budget tiers ranging from $50K to over $1M per system. A preferred partnership with KONIG Brewing Systems extends the offering into full brewery equipment solutions, allowing bundled brewing-plus-distillation sales.

Revenue mechanics are one-time equipment sales built to order, with no disclosed recurring service or SaaS revenue and no disclosed financing. The company has received a Business of the Year recognition and holds a registered trade dress on its equipment color configuration, but no formal patents, institutional funding rounds, or public financial disclosures are present in the available data. The company is founder-owned with no parent, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed institutional investors.
