WHY KEG SERVICING IS A BREWERY’S GOLDEN TICKET
A keg fleet is only as strong as its weakest keg.
ENGINEERING IN STAINLESS STEEL AT ITS PEAK
The VERTEX keg is a groundbreaking innovation that’s set to redefine industry standards. Crafted from duplex stainless steel using a revolutionary molding process, this keg is up to 30% lighter than a traditional stainless steel keg with up to 30% lower environmental impact, without compromising strength or durability.
VERTEX meets the growing demand for eco-conscious solutions in brewing, while its lower nickel content shields against price volatility in the global market. This creates truly sustainable kegs that offer environmental benefits, unparalleled strength, and predictable pricing.
WHY VERTEX KEGS OUTPERFORM THE REST
It also offers superior corrosion resistance.
*Up to 30%, depending on the model and compared to standard stainless steel kegs.
As part of our commitment to quality kegs, THIELMANN is a founding member of the Steel Keg Association. Along with other players in the keg supply chain, THIELMANN works to raise awareness of the environmental and financial benefits of steel kegs. To learn more, click here.
