What tank space does

Tank Space is a Sacramento, California-based B2B contract co-packer specializing in canned wine, spirits, seltzers, and ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails. Founded in 2016 by Lindsey and Jenn of The Can Van (the world's first mobile canning service) and Adam, a sommelier and owner of Proof Cocktails, the company operates a single production facility at 1390 Vinci Ave. offering formulation, blending, carbonation, canning, labeling, wine finishing, lab services, and short-term storage under one roof. Its core capability stack combines a recently installed COMAC 20|4 high-speed rotary filler seamer, force carbonation equipment, in-house ABV testing via an Anton Paar DMA 5000, and an unusually broad permit set spanning California ABC and federal TTB licenses for wine, spirits, and malt-based RTD beverages, plus CCOF Organic Handler certification.

Tank Space generates revenue through quote-based co-packing fees charged to beverage brands for individual production runs, with pricing varying by service scope, batch size, and can format (seven supported can sizes from 187ml to 16oz). Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, targeting two primary segments — established wine brands expanding into cans and emerging RTD cocktail brands — plus a secondary segment of startup beverage entrepreneurs. Marketing is conducted through Instagram and Facebook showcasing production work and capabilities, with the website serving as the primary contact funnel. Distribution is entirely direct B2B, with no consumer-facing sales.

The business is privately held by the three co-founders with no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds disclosed. Sister-company relationships with The Can Van and Proof Cocktails supply talent, customer referrals, and brand credibility. Revenue, headcount, and financial performance are not disclosed, and growth direction is not directly evidenced beyond the recent high-speed canning line installation and addition of organic-certified handling capacity.

Direct peers

• The Can Van: The Can Van is Tank Space's sister company and provides mobile beverage-canning services. Its canning expertise and focus on beverage brands make it directly comparable, although its mobile delivery model differs from Tank Space's facility-based co-packing operation.
• Co-Pak: Co-Pak provides contract beverage blending, bottling, and packaging services for branded beverage companies. Its turnkey beverage production model and support for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are closely aligned with Tank Space's co-packing offering.
• DrinkPak: DrinkPak is a beverage co-manufacturer offering formulation, blending, carbonation, filling, and packaging services. It directly overlaps with Tank Space's end-to-end production capabilities for wine, spirits, and RTD beverages.
• Wildpack Beverage: Wildpack Beverage provides beverage preparation, mobile canning, and scalable co-packing services to beverage brands. Its combination of flexible batch production, mobile packaging, and higher-volume capability is directly comparable to Tank Space.
• Iron Heart Canning: Iron Heart Canning operates a distributed mobile-canning platform for beverage producers. It competes for the same brand-level packaging needs as Tank Space, although it emphasizes mobile deployment rather than formulation, licensing, and warehouse services.
• Mobile Canning: Mobile Canning supplies mobile beverage-canning and related production services to beverage brands. Its packaging capabilities and ability to support products from test batches through commercial runs make it a relevant direct peer.
• American Beverage Corporation: American Beverage Corporation is a custom beverage manufacturer serving brand customers with blending, processing, and bottle or can packaging. Its contract-manufacturing model is directly comparable, albeit at substantially greater scale.

Broad incumbents

• Refresco: Refresco is a large-scale beverage co-packing and contract-manufacturing company serving multiple beverage categories. It competes for outsourced beverage production demand but operates a much broader network and packaging footprint than Tank Space.
• TreeHouse Foods: TreeHouse Foods is an established private-label food and beverage manufacturer with outsourced production capabilities for major retail and brand customers. It is a broad incumbent comparator because of its beverage formulation and contract-manufacturing scale.

Others

• Ardagh Metal Beverage: Ardagh Metal Beverage manufactures metal packaging, including cans used by beverage brands and co-packers. It is not a direct co-packer, but its packaging technology and can-format expertise are materially relevant to Tank Space's core canning process.
