50 Outstanding SME Technology Adoptors ver.112409

Marventure Corporation In a tropical country like the Philippines, iced tea is one of the most popular beverages around. That’s why many manufacturers vie in the iced tea business. While large corporations dominate the market of commercial iced tea, there are some small companies that make their mark in the industry by providing unique and refreshing varieties to everyone’s favorite drink. One of these forward-thinking companies is Marventure Corporation.

Janice Buenaventura, the proprietress of Marventure Corporation, knows the huge potential of iced tea as a business venture. Marventure is a food manufacturing company that produces the Allmytea brand of iced teas. Allmytea is made from brewed iced tea that’s carefully blended with freshly-squeezed calamansi and orange juice extracts. This combination results in a distinct taste that sets Allmytea apart from other brands. Allmytea is available in both concentrate and ready-to-drink forms.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) helped Buenaventura achieve her plans of making the Allmytea brand more accessible to the general market. Through DOST interventions, Marventure has acquired tea and fruit juice extractors, boilers, water treatment equipment and other facilities that maintains the freshness and quality of the beverage. In addition, DOST provided consultancies and trainings for Marventure personnel, like productivity improvement, product processing, and plant layouts.

These S&T interventions led Marventure to an incredible increase of 477% in their production capacity and a 311% increase in their average monthly production volume. Marventure was also able to construct a new plant and hire additional workers. At the rate of their development, more and more people will soon be able to experience the refreshing taste of Allmytea.
