Alkaline Water Company teams up with A1 Beverages for increased Northeast production

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER), the US’ largest independent alkaline water company, is set to expand its production capacity via a new co-packing partner, A1 Beverages. The strategic partnership will enable Alkaline88, the company’s flagship brand, to further grow and thrive in the Northeastern United States while reducing associated outbound shipping costs.

Boosting Production Capacity through Partnership

Halcott-based A1 Beverages (US OTC: AWON), renowned for its bottling and labeling facility, recently enhanced its production line and is planning further capacity expansion in 2024. This new partnership brings substantial benefits to The Alkaline Water Company, not just for the growth of the Alkaline88 brand but also for the company’s pathway to profitability.

“Over the past two years, we have strategically grown a network of co-packers to improve efficiencies, meet demand, and reduce shipping costs,” stated Frank Chessman, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “A1 Beverages will be an important producer of Alkaline88, and their addition as a partner in New York further strengthens our capacity, capabilities, and cost efficiencies in the Northeast.”

Alkaline88 Continues its Growth

The partnership with A1 Beverages will also aid Alkaline88 in its ongoing expansion of its national footprint.

Lloyd Preston, President and CEO of A1 Beverages Custom Bottled Water, LLC, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, “It’s great to work together with Alkaline88 as they continue to grow their national footprint. With the increased production capacity that A1 provides, we will work together to stay ahead of demand as Alkaline88 continues to carve out more market share in the Northeast and other regions.”

This strategic alliance is a crucial part of The Alkaline Water Company’s growth strategy, aiming to improve efficiencies and meet increasing demand while reducing costs in the Northeastern region.
