Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) ("Splash" or the "Company"), a portfolio company of leading beverage brands, today announced that AB ONE, a network of corporately-owned distribution operations, will expand the availability of Splash Beverage’s TapouT performance drink, Copa di Vino wine by the glass, and Pulpoloco sangria throughout its entire network.
The AB One distribution network will cover large new markets for the Splash brands incremental to those independent Anheuser Busch wholesalers previously gained in the Copa di Vino acquisition in December of 2020. AB One’s distribution organization covers key US markets like New York, Boston and Los Angeles.
"This agreement formalizes and significantly expands our current multi-state distribution footprint with Anheuser-Busch distributors and AB ONE. InBev’s AB ONE distribution organization is arguably one of the most effective distribution partners you can align with. We couldn't be more pleased”, stated Robert Nistico, Splash Beverage Group’s Chairman and CEO.
“We could not be more excited to be working with a distribution partner like AB ONE with their level of coverage, strength of execution and diligent customer service,” said Bill Meissner, President and Chief Marketing Officer, Splash. “This distribution agreement marks a major milestone for Splash and our brands, making them available to millions of new consumers from New York City to Los Angeles. We believe AB ONE is very intentional in their choice of brands, and we see this agreement as further confirmation of Splash’s brand development and growth strategy.”
AB ONE is owned by AB-InBev who purchased Anheuser-Busch in 2008. AB ONE serves approximately 50,000 accounts including retail stores, restaurants, bars, and venues across multiple states in the U.S.
