Scottsdale-Based Water Co. Enters into the Mexican Bottled Water Market

The Alkaline Water Company

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. is a producer of premium bottled alkaline water, flavor-infused waters, and CBD infused products sold under the brand names Alkaline88®, A88 Infused™, and A88CBD™, respectively. Today, the Company announces that it has partnered with Tiendas Sindicales, a superstore grocery chain and food service and vending service provider in the Mexican free trade zone.

Mexico has one of the largest consumption of bottled water per capita in the world. Per The Beverage Strategist February 24, 2021 edition, Beverage Marketing Corp, Mexico leads North America in bottled water consumption and had a per capita consumption of 73.7 gallons in 2019. Eight out of every 10 Mexican citizens report regularly consuming bottled water.

“We are pleased to announce that we will begin shipping to Mexico this month. Tiendas Sindicales provides consumer products through grocery stores, cafeterias, and vending machines in all of the Maquiladora factories in the Mexican Free Trade Zone. Monthly, approximately six million customers purchase products from their locations. We believe this is a significant opportunity for us to “test the waters” in a major international market and that this expansion marks the beginning of our international brand presence,” stated Richard Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company Inc.

“This is our first step into Mexico and expect this will lead to additional opportunities in North America and other foreign jurisdictions. We continue to dominate the US supermarkets and expect similar results in the Mexican and other international markets. As with all our current customers, we expect to exceed Tiendas’ forecast as our friends in Mexico enjoy the smooth clean taste of Alkaline88.”

Tiendas Sindicales is a Superstore Grocery Chain in the Mexican Free Trade Zone catering to 1.5 million customers in 1,500 Maquiladora factories. The factories are mostly owned by American Fortune 500 companies such as Ford and General Motors.

Tiendas Sindicales Food Service division supplies the cafeterias and concessionaires with grocery products and ingredients used in serving all meals for each of the 1,500 factories.

The Vending Service division supplies the Maquiladoras with all of the snacks for their vending machines placed throughout the factories.
