Heineken and Groupe SEB join hands and create home draught beer system
BeerTender will bring the enjoyment of a fresh Heineken draught beer to the homes of consumers.
12/02/2004 Heineken and Groupe SEB have formed a partnership and have created a draught beer system to be used at home: the BeerTender® system. BeerTender will bring the enjoyment of a fresh Heineken draught beer to the homes of consumers. The BeerTender, consisting of an appliance and keg, is compact and very easy to use. After a successful pilot in Switzerland the BeerTender will now first be launched in the Netherlands and many countries are to follow.The BeerTender system brings a unique new technology that delivers high quality draught beer for regular home consumption. The BeerTender appliance always keeps the compact 4-litre keg at the right temperature and in the most optimal condition for a period of three weeks after the first beer has been drawn. Therefore the BeerTender system is the first in its kind that allows people to draw and enjoy a perfect glass of fresh Heineken beer whenever they want in the comfort and privacy of their own home.
Groupe SEB is responsible for the production, marketing and future development of the BeerTender appliances. Heineken will further develop the innovative kegs and take the lead in the production and distribution of the kegs.

Heineken also has a strong export business. The Heineken brand is sold in more than 170 countries. Heineken employs over 60,000 people.
