We were given a trial bottle “Amazing 1-Shot Stress Relief with Relora”. In terms of taste, the product has a touch of lemon flavoured medicine about it. “In the USA it is important as far as the consumer is concerned that products of this nature still leave a taste of medicine behind so that they are perceived as a food supple- ment or in principle as ‘healthy’,” Tim explains. This bottle comes from Italy and costs, depending on transport, less than the US$0.16 baseline. This is a lot of money, but still feasible in the initial phase because bottle quan- tities have so far not exceeded a few thousand per month. Before embark- ing on any major investments we are endeavouring to achieve steady but healthy growth. We have only recently set up a second website where we sell Amazing 1-Shot. Prior to this, I showcased and trialled the drink at a trade show“, says Ralph, who was also of course responsible for devel- oping the mixture. The machine used for assembling the closure parts and for the filling operation is a Comas FC7, which has a nominal capacity of around 12 million units per year. Amerigo Labs actual output currently is relatively small and principally focused on product samples, as it was only a few weeks ago that a start was made on selling their own creations for the first time. Depending on the requirement, there can be up to ten people working in Production. Amerigo Lab’s catch- ment area is currently the domestic market, but in the future it could be extended to Canada. “Our aim in the short term“, says Ralph, “is to work on our products while looking to find a good partner in order, to spread the word as far as the principle of the bottle is concerned and then enable it to grow into something bigger. In any event, we are very excited at the potentials opening up here”. www.amerigolabs.com
