Creating success stories since 1963:
In 1963, MIT chemist and serial entrepreneur Sumner Katz recognized the limited flavor options and lack of R&D support available to private label retailers. He founded Imbibe to provide custom flavor solutions, enabling brands to expand their product offerings. Over the decades, Imbibe has evolved into a full-service R&D partner, delivering end-to-end product development and cutting-edge flavor expertise. Today, we continue to drive beverage innovation and differentiation, helping brands create standout products in a competitive market.
