Sestra Systems is a Sterling, Virginia-based manufacturer of smart, cloud-connected dispensing equipment. The company makes (made?) these cool TapWise dispensing solutions for wine, beer and basically any product you’d like to serve via a tap.
These small, modular TapWise dispensing systems allow owners to electronically control each pour with cool technology like:
- Push to Pour controls (fast, intuitive, push-button controls that improve service quality and speed);
- a Pour Control System (electronically dispense every serving with precision down to a fraction of an ounce);
- Touchless Tap (hands-free taps that ensure a smooth, fresh pour every time) and
- Smart FOB (designed to keep your beverages flowing smoothly by controlling the pressure and preventing foam from filling the line).
Just consider the benefits of pouring a precise pint of beer every time with no hands — create less waste (no more buckets of foam), eliminate theft, increase speed, keep it super clean and make employees and customers happier.
I bring this up because the entire contents of a former Sestra Systems site located in Sterling is currently up for auction — due to a complete plant closure. Capital Recovery Group (CRG) is facilitating the auction for the custom beverage dispensing system manufacturer.
In fact, bidding has already started, and the online-only auction will begin closing on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.
There’s a lot of things being sold here, but some of these dispensing systems are like $100 right now. View the entire auction right here.
