Splash Beverage Group Inc., a portfolio company of leading beverage brands, announced it has entered a distribution agreement with North Carolina-based Coastal Beverage Company for three Splash Beverage brands, Copa di Vino, Pulpoloco and TapouT.
Coastal Beverage Company, headquartered in Wilmington, N.C., was founded in 1960 with just six employees serving less than 200 customers. Through organic growth and acquisition, Coastal Beverage now covers most of the North Carolina coastline, reaching 22,000 retailers in its territory with a broad spectrum of popular brands as wholesaler for Miller Coors.
“We are very pleased to join the Coastal Beverage network,” Robert Nistico, chief executive officer of Splash Beverage Group, said in the announcement. “This territory has previously been uncovered for us, so it introduces a whole new population to Splash products. The North Carolina coast includes some of the fastest growing population centers in the state and we’re excited to introduce our brands to these potential new customers.”
