EUROPEAN BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTION MADE EASY
International beverage distribution is complex. Every European market has its own regulations. Excise duties, VAT, recycling fees, and shipping rules. Navigating this takes time and expertise.
Bemakers was founded to change that.
After experiencing these challenges firsthand in the wine industry, co-founder Morten Stengaard set out to create a better solution. He built Bemakers to help beverage brands outside of Europe enter and expand across the continent with a streamlined, compliant, and efficient distribution model.
Frequently asked questions
We're here to help answer any of your questions. Can't find what you need? Reach out to the sales team directly here.
We work with distilleries, wineries, breweries, and brands in the no & low alcoholic beverage category, helping them expand into multiple European markets through a single distribution platform.
Bemakers has warehouses in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Norway, strategically placed to ensure fast order processing and delivery within 1–2 days. Our tax warehouses in Denmark, Sweden, and Germany support efficient distribution across Europe, while our bonded warehouse in Denmark serves as a strategic hub for non-EU beverage brands entering the European market.
European markets have strict rules on excise duties, VAT, recycling fees, and shipping regulations. Navigating these independently can be complex and time-consuming. Bemakers automates these processes, ensuring compliance in each country so you can focus on growing your brand instead of dealing with regulatory hurdles.
Unlike traditional distribution models where importers and distributors dictate pricing and positioning, Bemakers allows you to stay in control. You set your prices, maintain direct relationships with customers, and shape your brand’s presence in the market while we take care of the backend operations.
Bemakers provides a single platform for all sales channels. Whether you want to sell directly to consumers through online retail or reach bars, restaurants, and retailers via B2B sales, we handle the logistics, tax compliance, and fulfillment, ensuring a smooth experience for you and your customers.
No. With Bemakers, you don’t need a separate importer or a local legal entity in each country. We act as your central EU hub, ensuring full compliance across multiple markets while allowing you to manage everything from one platform. This means fewer intermediaries, lower costs, and more control over your brand’s pricing, distribution, and customer relationships.
