Sunderland's JetChill toasts US growth plans with £1m funding deal

A Sunderland drinks device manufacturer is toasting growth in the US fuelled by a £1m funding package.

JetChill designs, manufactures and sells innovative devices for the hospitality industry, including its bestselling Flavour Blaster Pro, which creates a smoke-filled fragrant bubble on the top of drinks. Launched by entrepreneur Colin Myers and manufacturer Robert Flunder four years ago, the company’s kits are now used by many of the world’s top bars and at celebrity parties.

JetChill made its first international sale in 2011 to a hotel in Poland and now sells its products in a total of 138 countries, including the US, Australia and across Europe. As global demand grows for JetChill’s products, the company has tapped into funding to increase its workforce and expand further into international markets, thanks to a package from HSBC UK.
