Seoul, South Korea, 19th Oct 2026 — South Korean food technology company NET is expanding its custom beverage tablet development and manufacturing services for food manufacturers and consumer brands. The company is applying formulation and production experience gained through Pocket Tonic to products developed around clients’ ingredients and beverage concepts.
NET’s services begin with assessing whether a client’s ingredients and intended product characteristics are suitable for a beverage tablet. Development then progresses through formulation, prototype production and the establishment of manufacturing conditions, with evaluations covering taste, dissolution, storage stability and production feasibility.
According to NET, developing a beverage tablet requires more than compressing powdered ingredients. Different ingredients affect flavor after dissolution, sensitivity to moisture and quality during storage. The company manages formulation and manufacturing conditions to support consistent quality across production batches.
Pocket Tonic, NET’s first commercial product, is an effervescent tablet that dissolves in water to make a refreshing tonic drink. Its compact format allows it to be carried and stored at room temperature. Consumer feedback on taste and ease of use informs NET’s subsequent product development.
In 2023, NET received the Minister of Science and ICT Award, the grand prize at the Food Technology Awards organized by the Korea Food Research Institute.
NET is working with South Korean food manufacturers and consumer brands on customized formulations. Feedback from Pocket Tonic customers informs these projects, while ingredient and manufacturing data generated through client development work contributes to NET’s own product development. Areas under development include hydration drinks, specialty non-alcoholic bases and beverages for café use.
The company is also exploring distribution opportunities in Indonesia and Singapore. Through its participation in the GSA (Global Startup Academy) G-Camp One ScaleX Indonesia program, NET has conducted market research and business meetings with representatives from the coffee, foodservice and hospitality sectors to discuss potential applications in cafés, restaurants and hotels.
“Pocket Tonic has helped us bring our beverage tablet technology to market and understand how consumers use the product,” said Ye-seong Kim, CEO of NET. “We are applying that experience to custom development and manufacturing based on each client’s ingredients and beverage concept.”
Kim said NET will prioritize projects that can progress from development to commercial production and repeat supply, with attention to taste, ease of use and consistent manufacturing quality.
NET plans to expand its own product portfolio alongside its custom development services, build on its ingredient-specific formulation data and further improve its production and quality management systems.
