With this strategic investment, ArKay Beverages capitalizes on its expertise and accelerates its international development
1 Feb, 2016 – ArKay Beverages today inaugurated its new production center in Arandas, Mexico, “This production center represents a strategic, long-term investment to meet the growing global consumer demand for the highest quality ArKay Alcohol Free Drinks in the coming years,” said Angel David, VP of ArKay Beverages. “It will not only contribute to the success of ArKay in the growing portioned alcohol free liquor segment, but also to the local, regional and national economic and social dynamism.
In addition to the classic ArKay Alcohol Free liquors, the site will also produce 14 Alcohol Free Beers and Alcohol Free Cocktails with its revolutionary 0.00 % ABV technology, which will be launched in March 2016 in the United States, Canada and Europe.
A positive impact on the local economy
As with its production center in Mexico ArKay intends to have a long-term positive impact on the economic and social landscape of the town of Arandas. The new site has already enabled the creation of 75 new skilled, direct jobs, bringing the total number of ArKay employees in the world to over 300. More than 25 local companies participated in the construction of the site, representing 60% of its total budget.
“The decision by ArKay to locate the new plant in Arandas is a fine reward for the hard work of the country as a whole. It also encourages us in our efforts to continue promoting Mexico’s strengths as a location for manufacturing and to boost Latin American market share,” said David Angel.
A U.S company with global reach
ArKay chose to establish its second production center in Dallas, Texas by March 2017 due to the Texas excellence and know-how, the solid and reliable infrastructure and a skilled workforce, all strategic factors that guarantee the quality that ArKay stands for. The Dallas plant will produce alcohol free beer in aluminum cans and bottles, as well as 100% recyclable PET KEGS.

Arkay will introduce in March 2016 a collection of 14 alcohol free beers 0.00% ABV designed to cater to North American consumption preferences for large-cup of alcohol free beer. The 14 high quality alcohol free beer includes lager, amber and dark beer, as well as 11 flavored beers available in the US, Canada, Europe and worldwide.
ArKay offers an extended collection of drinks including alcohol-free liquors, alcohol-free cocktails, and alcohol-free beers which are sold in glass bottles, aluminum cans, and on draft.
ArKay feels and tastes exactly like liquor. Millions of people drink ArKay every day because it has the same burn and flavor as the real thing but without any of the ill effects. ArKay is a healthy option too. Besides being 100% alcohol-free, it contains no fat, carbs, sodium or sugar.
ArKay has done with spirits what other companies did for beer but to an even greater extent. ArKay has invented a completely new beverage category of alcohol-free liquors and 0.00% ABV alcohol-free beer. Unlike with alcohol, ArKay isn’t constrained by strict market regulations, therefore allowing it to be sold virtually anywhere.
ArKay Beverages presented last December a Safer Ride App which is designed to help keep drunk drivers off the roads by allowing them to call ArKay DD center that will send a taxi or a friend and by identifying their location so they can be picked up and in the event no friend is available to do the rescue ArKay Beverages will pay the cost of the Taxi ride thanks to a trust fund that ArKay is putting in place.
