Direct-to-consumer reusable water bottle system with cartridge-based flavoring
Cirkul manufactures a reusable water bottle + cartridge system positioned as an alternative to single-use bottled beverages. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-first operation (Keyence industrial controls, PLC/HMI systems, CCTV) paired with direct-to-consumer digital channels (Shopify, TikTok Shop, Gorgias support). Active hiring skews heavily toward manufacturing (8 roles) and operations, with concurrent projects in social commerce and RTD beverage expansion—signaling a company scaling production capacity while testing adjacent CPG categories.
Cirkul produces a reusable water bottle with proprietary cartridge technology that adds flavor and personalization without single-use plastic. Founded in 2016 and based in Tampa, Florida, the company operates end-to-end US manufacturing and sells primarily through direct-to-consumer digital channels. The business model centers on the bottle as a durable platform—consumers purchase cartridges as repeating consumables—supported by claims of 250M+ plastic bottles avoided since 2018. Current operations include manufacturing, fulfillment logistics (ShipStation), customer support (Gorgias), and emerging work on ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, geographic expansion, and social commerce integration.
Cirkul uses Google Workspace, Shopify (eCommerce), ShipStation (logistics), Gorgias (customer support), and manufacturing systems including Keyence controls, PLC, and HMI. Social commerce channels include TikTok Shop, Instagram, and YouTube.
Cirkul is headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company operates end-to-end US-based manufacturing and is currently hiring in the United States and United Kingdom.
