About us
We are a products innovation company committed to reusable, innovative, sustainable products that make it easier for people to enjoy their beverage of choice.
Where it all started...
We first thought of creating a product when leaving a stadium and seeing the amount of plastic beverage carriers being littered under the seats in the grandstand and overflowing from bins. We noticed it wasn't just sport events but also, festivals, concerts and cafes & restaurants and it was part of our lifestyle. We wanted to reduce the single use plastic trays being disposed of at these high traffic events and support people's lifestyle to enjoy themselves and provide them an option to take matters into their own hand. After 4 years of designing, drafting, printing and testing this product, we finally have developed it to the most innovative drink carrier available in the market today.
Our Product
We wanted to create something that was simple, lite weight, compact, REUSABLE and made from recyclable material which could be designed to support everyday lifestyle and give you a spare hand.
Introducing CarryMate, the game-changing drink carrier that’s as eco-friendly as it is convenient. Say goodbye to single-use plastic trays and hello to a stylish sustainable alternative.
Embrace the simplicity and versatility by sliding each cavity open to match up to 4 cups or cans, ready to carry. When done, slide your CarryMate back into the base position and tuck it away for another time.
Our Mission
To provide a sustainable and convenient alternative to traditional drink carriers, reducing waste and improving the environmental impact of events and sporting venues worldwide.
