The Alkaline Water Company Inc. announced significant new production capacity through new co-packing partner, AZ Custom Bottled Water LLC.
AZ Custom Water completed a new packaging and bottling line in 2021 and is further expanding capacity and capabilities in 2022.
“Over the past two years, our strategic network of copackers has allowed us to produce and deliver when many of our competitors could not,” said Ricky Wright, president and CEO of the Alkaline Water Company. “Now, with the addition of AZ Custom Water and their production capabilities, we are further strengthening our position in the Southwest. This year, AZ Custom Water will be an important producer of our entire portfolio of water products, including being our west coast supplier for our growing line of Alkaline88 FreshCap functional beverages. As we grow, we are finding the need for multiple bottlers in strategic markets. AZ Custom Water began to manufacture for us in 2021 and have already proven to be great partners. As they further increase production, we expect them to be a significant co-packing partner for years to come.”
Kathryn Gavin, president and CEO of AZ Custom Bottle Water, added: “It's great to work with together with Alkaline88 as they continue to grow their national footprint. The production capacity AZ Custom Water provides will help their brand continue to deliver and meet fulfillment when other brands cannot. We’ll work together to stay ahead of demand as Alkaline88 continues to carve out more market share in the Southwest and other markets.”
