The past several years have been challenging for home and craft brewing, and as a result that has sent reverberations throughout the entire industry supporting them. We have formed so many, meaningful connections with brewers over the last 13 years. You all have deeply supported our product innovations, from the venerable Brew Bucket to professional Ss Brewhouses used in breweries throughout the world. Our overarching goal was to bring innovative brewing equipment to home and craft brewers alike so that you could brew world-class beer, and to that, we have succeeded.
However, decreased demand and increased pricing pressures, combined with an oversupply of used equipment in the secondary market, are just a few of the broader headwinds facing the equipment sector. This has significantly impacted our ability to operate sustainably.
Unfortunately, we do not see a rapid recovery in the market or conditions that would support a return to sustainable operations in the foreseeable future. After careful consideration of these factors and the outlook ahead, we have made the difficult decision to proceed with the closure of Ss Brewtech.
Given the long lifecycle of our products and the quality of workmanship, we are confident that our customers will be able to operate their equipment for decades to come. We want to support that effort by strategically discounting parts inventory over the coming months leading up to a planned year-end closure.
We look forward to working with you, our customers, to understand what your immediate and future needs are, and assist in making recommendations to keep your equipment performing just as intended. It’s been an amazing journey, and we look forward to visiting all the amazing craft breweries and home brewers that continue to operate our gear, have a beer, and say thank you for all the support.
Cheers,
The Ss Brewtech Team
