True Drinks, a California-based company that produces natural and healthy beverages such as AquaBall Naturally Flavored Water, has entered into a co-packer bottling agreement with Adirondack Beverages.
The deal with Adirondack represents the third co-packer bottling agreement for True Drinks, following deals with facilities in Modesto, California and Dallas, Texas, and increases its production capacity.
New York-based Adirondack Beverages is a soda and water bottling and warehouse company with facilities in Scotia, New York and Worcester, Massachusetts.
The Scotia facility will have annual production capacity of 1.5 million cases and the combined annual production capacity of all the three facilities will be four million cases.
True Drinks CEO Lance Leonard stated that AquaBall's brand is spreading nationally.
"We have therefore set forth a strategic plan to establish four co-packer locations throughout the United States," Leonard added.
"Our partnership with Adirondack Beverage represents the third of four locations. This strategy will allow us to manage transportation costs and maximize margins.
"The added production capacity was necessary as we gear up for the summer season where the demand for our healthy, great tasting water is at an all-time high."
