Aiko Brands Information

Bringing an alcoholic beverage alcohol brand to market in the United States requires a federal permit, licensing and brand registration in every state of sale, TTB formula and label approvals, and distributors willing to take on a new listing. For most producers, building that infrastructure in-house is neither practical nor economical. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Pendergrass, Georgia, AIKO Brands is a national importer and brand owner in U.S. beverage alcohol. We develop, import, and market our own portfolio, including Doc Holliday bourbon, Damso soju, and HanJan, and we make that same infrastructure available to other brands. OUR SERVICES Product development: liquid formulation, packaging and label design, trademark registration Regulatory compliance: federal import permits, state licensing and brand registrations, price postings, TTB pre-COLA formula and COLA label approvals, monthly reporting Import and logistics: international freight, U.S. Customs clearance, domestic freight, warehousing in Georgia Sales and distribution: 180+ distributor and control-board partners across all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Canada, with routes into grocery, independent chains and U.S. military outlets, plus a national broker network Fulfillment and accounting: distributor invoicing, receivables and payables, chargeback and billback administration, inventory control Marketing: campaigns, tastings, trade shows, competitions, product placement WHO WE SERVE International producers entering the U.S. market, domestic distilleries, wineries and breweries expanding beyond their home states, and brand owners looking to reduce the fixed cost of compliance and logistics.
