Steric

Steric is a beverage technology company whose proprietary electromagnetic processing system improves flavor, consistency and production economics across wine, spirits, RTDs and other beverages. Its software-controlled technology applies precisely controlled electromagnetic fields to beverages or ingredients, changing how existing components interact and are perceived. Nothing is added or removed, preserving the fundamental composition of the product while improving flavor integration, mouthfeel, balance and aromatic expression. The process is rapid, non-additive, requires no filtration and generates no waste stream.

Steric works with producers ranging from craft operations to major international beverage companies. Its scalable systems can be used at multiple points in product development and production, from individual ingredients and intermediate blends to finished beverages, with commercial processing capacities ranging from small batches to thousands of gallons per hour.

Applications include improving finished products, addressing off-spec or commercially challenged inventory, increasing batch-to-batch consistency, optimizing lower-cost ingredients and developing new flavor profiles. Steric processing has enabled producers to realize more than $30 million in retail sales from products that otherwise may not have reached the market. The technology was named 2023 DISCUS Innovation of the Year and has been used across wine, whiskey, bourbon, tequila, rum, vodka and RTD applications.

For producers, Steric provides a practical flavor optimization tool that can improve product quality while creating opportunities to reduce ingredient costs, recover inventory and improve margins—all without fundamentally changing existing production methods.

Steric offers no-cost production trials to producers.  It's technology does not require any capital outlay or up-front costs.
