SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Alkaline Water Company, the country’s largest independent alkaline water company and the Clean Beverage company, today announced the start of production of Alkaline88 in state-of-the-art copacking plant Century Springs in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The plant’s large and small bottle lines will increase production capacity for the Company while its geographic location will decrease costs and carbon footprint associated with freight.

“Century Springs will be producing Alkaline88® in the Midwest region for the first time in our company’s history,” said Frank Lazaran, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “This state-of-the-art facility outside of Milwaukee will provide a strategic production center for Alkaline88® and support further expansion in a market where we see significant upside for growth.

“Alkaline88 is being produced around the country by a strong network of copacking partners. This network supports increasing sales that are being driven by organic growth, SKU expansion, and new retail clients. While industries around the country are facing inflationary pressure, we continue to optimize our network of raw materials manufacturers and copackers to partially offset the increasing costs associated with freight. This is part of a broader company-wide strategy to continue to drive topline revenue growth while striving to put the company on a pathway to profitability.”
