Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily 1 1 Monday, March 20, 2017 BERATEK LAUNCHES SPACE-SAVING FOOD POUCH ORGANIZER BeraTek Industries, a product design and manufacturing company, has launched a new Food Pouch Organizer designed to hold and organize the pop- ular portable food pouches. Per a January 2015 study, "Plastic Film," by The Freedonia Group Inc., the global pouch market is expected to grow 6.2 percent per year through 2018, reaching $37.3 billion. The Group predicts the pouch demand in the United Sates will increase 4.6 percent annually to reach $9.4 billion by 2018. BeraTek's Food Pouch Organizer offers a convenient space-saving solution for organizing and storing these popular food pouches in cabinets, pantries and the fridge. "My son is at the age where we keep a stock of food pouches," said Gerald Beranek, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BeraTek. "I was tired of fum- bling through the pantry looking for a pouch when my son was hungry. I designed the Food Pouch Organizer to be simple to use and hold the pouches so we could quickly and easily grab the flavor my son wanted." "The primary market for food pouches are children aged 3-7 years. However, pre-teens, along with fitness enthusiasts are a growing consumer base," said Beranek. "Food pouches are portable and a healthy choice for a broader audi- ence as more peo- ple are making a conscious effort to know what they are putting into their bodies. The Food Pouch Organizer isn't just for baby food pouch- es; it can be used for anything packaged in a pouch with the twist top." The organizer is sold as a set of three racks that can be mounted easily inside or underneath cabinets with the included adhesive tape. The organizer can accom- modate most leading baby food pouch brands. Each rack holds up to six food pouches. The Food Pouch Organizer is manu- factured by BeraTek in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and is currently available on Amazon and retails for $14.99 (includes three racks).
