The Alkaline Water Company Extends International Reach with Distributor TraFon Group

The Company’s Full Family of Products Will Be Available in the Caribbean.

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the largest independent alkaline water company in the United States, is pleased to announce its first Caribbean distribution partnership with SaluVid, a division of TraFon Group, who will market and promote the distribution and sales of the Company’s products throughout Puerto Rico and other select Caribbean islands.

“Our recently announced brokerage agreement with Bellator Group has already led to a new distribution partnership, further advancing our goal of international expansion this year,” stated Ricky Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “TraFon Group has a strong local network in Puerto Rico which includes over 3,000 retail customers and an extensive export distribution network to surrounding islands. From a logistics standpoint, this is a particularly attractive arrangement for us as we will deliver all our product domestically to a single distribution center in Florida and TraFon Group will handle all the exportation.”

“New partnerships like this, as well as recently teaming up with Shaquille O’Neal, continue to fuel our aggressive international expansion,” added Wright. “We are already on the shelves in Mexico, our products will be in the Caribbean soon, and we have our eyes set on even more international markets in the future.”

“SaluVid offers natural alternatives to address your body’s needs and bring about balance. It is a one-stop solution for Health and Wellness products,” said Jamileth Troche Rivera, Marketing Manager for SaluVid. “With The Alkaline Water Company’s products, we will definitely make a difference in our market.”
