About FASSKEG

CoolSystem KEG GmbH markets single-use and returnable stainless steel kegs for the beverage industry under the FASSKEG brand. The core product is the world-patented WORLDKEG, a fully laser-welded, thin-walled single-use keg made of stainless steel sheet in 20, 25 and 30 litres, developed for international markets and long-distance transport. Thanks to steam pre-sterilization (Ready-to-Fill), pressure resistance up to 10 bar and aseptic, fill-ready delivery, costs for return transport, cleaning and maintenance are eliminated. In addition, returnable kegs (SLIM-KEG, DIN-KEG) in stainless steel DIN 1.4301/AISI 304 are offered, with logo embossing, laser top-lid engraving and data-matrix marking. The portfolio includes various fitting systems (A, S, D, M, G), spear/tap heads, a safety flat-fitting extraction tool as well as special kegs with a water-treatment cartridge for the water treatment industry. For financing the kegs, a partnership exists with LeasingUnion in Hamm. For the WORLDKEG, which is patented until 2036, the company is seeking national and international production and distribution partners.
