European warehouse at Keg Exchange in Miastko
AOBAOSI is setting up its European warehouse at Keg Exchange in Miastko, Poland. Spears and spare parts are now available at short notice in Europe, with short delivery routes and a service partner on site.
Until now, AOBAOSI spears reached European customers directly from China, with long lead times and usually in container quantities. Anyone who only needed a few hundred spears for the next keg refurbishment had a problem. With the European warehouse in Miastko, the spears are stocked in Europe and available on call.
For this, Keg Exchange is building a completely new hall in Miastko with storage capacity for more than 2,300 pallets. Keg Exchange is also AOBAOSI’s service partner, so spears and spare parts can be sourced in Europe through Keg Exchange, with short delivery routes and fast availability.
What is ready in Miastko
From stock you get the common lengths of the two most widespread systems in Europe: the flat spear type A and the EU Sankey spear type S. Use our spear length calculator to find the length that fits your keg.
| Spear | Overall lengths from stock |
|---|---|

| Type S (Sankey spear, European Sankey) | 311 · 356 · 519 · 523 · 556 mm |
| Types D, G and M | on request |
Types D, G and M as well as special lengths are available on request. Delivery is ex works from the Miastko warehouse (EXW).
From one carton
You can order from the European warehouse from just one carton. Deliveries are made in full cartons, with a separate carton size for each length. For type A at 323 mm, for example, there are 36 spears per carton and 30 cartons, i.e. 1,080 spears, on a full pallet. The more cartons, the lower the unit price.
Separate terms apply to keg manufacturers and keg refurbishers with larger requirements, OEM sourcing or their own specifications.
Three ways to a new spear
Keg Exchange has been refurbishing, repairing and trading kegs for more than 25 years. That is why the spears are available not only as goods but, on request, installed as well.
- Replacement during keg refurbishment: the spears are replaced at the Keg Exchange service centre as part of the refurbishment, with torque control. On request, the kegs are cleaned and reconditioned at the same time.
- Replacement on site: service technicians replace the spears directly at your brewery. The kegs do not need to be transported.
- Self-installation with support: you install the spears yourself and get the right spears from stock, special tools on request, instructions and a contact person for technical questions.
For self-installation, this website shows every step: animations for removal and installation, the right tools and the tightening torques.
