Business Wire
Sports Pouch Beverage Co. (Pink Sheets:SPBV) CEO, Mr. Gil
Arvizu, today announced an exclusive strategic alliance to joint
venture with Access Beverage, Inc. for the development, marketing,
and distribution of several branded beverage lines utilizing the
unique, patent pending, sports pouch packaging technology with a
tamper proof push-pull spout. Under the terms of the agreement,
both companies will share joint ownership of all brands,
trademarks, and profits of beverage lines developed through the
partnership for global distribution in both retail and
institutional markets. It is expected that these lines will extend
to all single-serve wine, ready-to-drink single serve cocktails,
multi-serve ready-to-drink pouch packages, juice and juice blends,
health drinks, and water products.
The Sports Pouch Beverage packaging JV benefits include:
- Significantly reduced packaging
costs and no CRV costs
- Lighter freight weight resulting
with reduced transportation costs
- Eco-friendly and convenient to
use (no straws, no mess)
- Established distribution for
existing products through major grocery, specialty, and club
stores
- Exclusive packaging technology
for production of single serve joint branded wine and beverage
lines in a tamper-proof pouch with a re-sealable push-pull
spout
- Ideal for distribution through
airports; including air travel, trains, and cruise ships offering
significant weight advantage over glass packaging
- First mover advantage in
�no-glass outdoor leisure zones� such as concerts, camping/picnic
grounds, poolside, yachting, and boating activities
Sports Pouch CEO, Mr. Gil Arvizu added, �I am delighted we have
formed this joint venture. The team at Access Beverage has a great
ability to build exciting brands and successfully take them to
market. I believe our proprietary packaging technology, coupled
with their knowhow in developing, branding, and marketing premium
wine and sprit lines will prove a successful union. Our packaging
technology has been received extremely well in the retail sector
and with the introduction of our new branded lines, I expect this
trend to continue. This is an exciting time as we prepare to take
our respective companies to the next level.�
�We are delighted to have formed this alliance with Sports
Pouch. I believe that through collaboration, and sharing of our
extensive resources, we can to bring to market an incredible line
of single-serve beverage items using this innovative, light-weight
packaging technology,� said Access Beverage president, Ms. Diane
Svehlak. �While single serve wines and spirits have been on our
radar for quite some time, in the absence of a practical and
innovative packaging system that didn�t include using a straw or
trying to pour from a light weight pouch with no adequate spout
system, we were hesitant to make such a commitment. Through our
alliance with Sports Pouch, I believe that we have not only found a
solution for a convenient way to package and preserve the integrity
of our beverages, but we have also aligned with possibly the best
consumer friendly packaging system in this entire category. This I
believe is underpinned by the major retail and club stores that
already carry Sports Pouch beverage lines.�
