The Alkaline Water Company Inc. announced it has entered into a Management and Services Agreement with Water Source One to expand its production and distribution capabilities. Under the agreement, Water Source One will assist the company in managing the production and distribution of its Alkaline88® premium bottled alkaline drinking water across the United States, including providing customer service and regulatory support, quality assurance management, and raw materials and logistical support. As WSO is one of the country’s premier producers and suppliers of bottled water products, the company is confident that this partnership will allow it to aggressively scale the Alkaline88® brand. Specifically, the company expects this partnership to benefit its product line in a number of ways and help it sustain continued growth, including: Water Source One supplies from more than 30 strategically placed bottling facilities located across the U.S. that all meet or exceed FDA regulations and are Safe Quality Food (SQF) certified. These facilities are expected to enable the company to lower shipping costs and solidify its growing national manufacturing footprint. Water Source One has the manufacturing capability to support the growing demand the Company is seeing for its products and to enable it to scale production and distribution as the Alkaline88® brand continues to expand. The company expects to benefit from Water Source One’s experienced management team. Many WSO team members are long-term veterans from major beverage companies such as Nestle and Coca-Cola. Water Source One has a proven track record of success, with over 100 years of aggregate operating history and growth.
