“We are extremely excited about the opportunity to bring our industry-leading canning and co-packing services into Fort Worth,” said Tyler Wille, founder and CEO of Iron Heart Canning. “Our partnership with Blue Flag will allow us to immediately offer both our full service co-packaging and mobile canning services to Texas.”

Iron Heart currently operates more than 80 canning lines across 28 states, providing beverage packaging services throughout New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, the Midwest, and the Upper Midwest. This move will allow Iron Heart to expand their mobile canning services and vast co-packing network into East Texas, Oklahoma City and parts of Louisiana.

“We are passionate about being the best at two things,” said Wille. “First and foremost is serving our customers and forging long term partnerships. The second is our obsession with being the quality leader in canning. Through our seam excellence programme, dissolved oxygen testing, in-house lab capabilities and dedicated internal resources for continually advancing our expertise, our goal is to offer a solution that is exponentially more valuable than insourcing.”

Based in Fort Worth, TX, Blue Flag Distillery is a full-scale beverage producer with a newly redesigned, 20,000 sq ft production facility, located in the heart of Fort Worth at the intersection of I-30 and I-35.
