Paarl, South Africa — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ – BevZero South Africa has expanded its presence in the Cape Winelands with a move to a new, larger production facility in Paarl, aimed at meeting growing demand for alcohol-free and dealcoholized wines, according to a press announcement made on EuropaWire today. The relocation strengthens the company’s position as a key technology and services partner in the no- and low-alcohol beverage market.

The purpose-built site, located just south of Paarl along the N1, significantly increases BevZero’s production and storage capacity from 144,000 to 346,000 litres. Designed to meet strict food safety and quality standards, the facility features upgraded infrastructure, automated sanitation systems, and energy-efficient technologies, including a fully solar-covered roof and covered logistics areas.

BevZero has also invested in research and development capabilities, with a dedicated lab and product development area to accelerate innovation in alcohol-free beverages. The site’s advanced cooling system, capable of maintaining wine at 6°C, and integrated steam cleaning and filtration technologies further enhance process efficiency and product quality.

Managing Director Gustav Fouche said the expansion allows BevZero to “offer clients so much more” while keeping pace with rising market demand. The new facility consolidates the company’s core services — including alcohol removal, filtration, and pasteurisation — under one roof, offering an all-in-one production model for beverage producers.

With more than three decades of experience and facilities in South Africa, Spain, and the United States, BevZero continues to serve as a global partner for producers developing premium no- and low-alcohol products.
