Tropical Receives Initial Orders for Pure Gutz; Orders Exceed the Initial Projections
SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb 16, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Tropical Beverage Inc. (Pink Sheets:TPBV), a producer and distributor of value-added water-based products, today announced that it has received its initial orders for the flask product called "Pure Gutz" (R), its complete line of flavored sports and energy drinks in a flask container. The minimum order accepted is a truckload (44352 flasks per truckload). The company has received four truckloads' worth of orders in its first week, with commitments for 11 more for next week.
"The company is very excited at our initial response to the flask product. The initial orders have been received in the West region and they are larger than we originally projected. Our plans are to open up the markets across the country in the coming weeks, as distributors get added to our network. We have been receiving calls daily from interested distributors and we are signing them up quickly. It appears that the industry standard of round bottles has met its match," said Chris Lotito, CFO for Tropical.
Tropical Beverage (www.tropicalbev.com) manufactures and distributes a complete line of value-added beverages. Their extensive line includes pure spring waters, flavored waters, vapor-distilled waters, ultra-pure purified waters, micro-clustered waters and waters with additives (including oxygen, caffeine, electrolytes and other enhanced minerals and vitamins). They specialize in private-labeled water and have products in both domestic and international markets. In addition, Tropical Beverage continues to seek acquisitions of related companies that will enhance their product development and to build a network of subsidiaries across the nation.
