Two Trees to boost production fivefold
North Carolina-based Two Trees Beverage Company will quintuple its production capacity by installing a second spirits rapid ageing system (SRAS).
Based in Fletcher, North Carolina, Two Trees will install the rapid ageing system next month in response to ‘steady demand and projected growth potential’.
The new, larger spirits rapid ageing unit will complement the existing system to meet demand for Two Trees’ aged third-party distillates and its own branded spirits.
The installation of the second system is expected to boost Two Trees’ spirits production capacity fivefold.
Two Trees is a subsidiary of sustainable technology company MDWerks, which aims to help businesses reduce their energy costs.
Steven Laker, CEO of MDWerks, said: “Customer demand for Two Trees’ aged white-label distillates and award-winning spirits brands has vastly exceeded peak throughput of our existing spirits rapid ageing system, which has been running at or near full capacity since May 2025.
“We are deploying a second, larger SRAS unit at Two Trees’ facilities in August 2025, which will provide approximately five times more capacity to meet built-in demand from several customers for various white-label products, including single malts, whiskeys, rums, and Bourbons.
“Simultaneously, Two Trees’ branded sales continue to grow organically, driven by expanded distribution, enhanced marketing and successful new product launches.”
The Two Trees range includes Bourbon, rye whiskey, flavoured whiskeys, and bottled ready-to-serve cocktails.
MDWerks is also planning to build two SRAS units for an undisclosed major distillery and one SRAS unit for a US bulk spirits broker under contracts it had first announced in February 2025.
Laker added: “The first unit is scheduled to be installed at the facilities of one of the largest distilleries in the US in the fourth quarter of 2025 and we expect to deliver a second SRAS unit to this customer in the first quarter of 2026.
“Additionally, we anticipate deploying the third SRAS unit at the facilities of a US broker of bulk spirits in the first half of 2026.
“Multiple other conversations are underway with industry participants who recognise the substantial economic and environmental benefits of our proprietary spirits rapid ageing technology.”
