O.C. BEVERAGES, INC. (Pink Sheets: OCBG) is pleased to announce that it has completed the filing of its initial disclosure documents, in its effort to comply with Pink Sheet’s guidelines for providing adequate current information. A copy of the Company’s disclosure documentation can be viewed by visiting www.pinksheets.com and viewing the “Filings” tab under the Company’s trading symbol OCBG.PK.
O.C. Beverages is positioned as “America’s Premium Private Label Company” for both Non-Alcoholic and Alcoholic Beverages. The Private Label Beverage Market has been growing dramatically in the U.S. where it now exceeds over 25% of total sales and in Europe where it now exceeds 45% of the market, according to Bevnet.com, a beverage Industry news site. The company is focused on developing proprietary premium private label bottled water and tea’s which capture each consumer’s taste and style with a unique and innovative product mix. To support these efforts, the Company executed two acquisitions and entered into several agreements which enhance the Company’s distribution and bottling efforts, as well as sales and product development opportunities which provide the Company with numerous competitive advantages over competing beverage products jockeying for shelf space.
Since October 2008, the Company completed two acquisitions; One is an eight year old beverage bottling plant located in Santa Ana, California, which private labels its water for several national retail chains representing more than 60 respective trademarked brands of purified water, flavored waters and a new high-end structured water, which the Company intends to report on further in the near future. The Company also acquired Anglo-American, Inc., a company with a trademark portfolio serving a customer base of approximately 165 distributors.
“These acquisitions are key to the future growth of not only our private labeled product mix, but to new product introduction, in terms of securing capacity and access to retailers,” said Mr. Lee J. Danna, President and CEO of O.C. Beverages. “As excited as I am of our efforts to enhance our private label operations, I am equally excited at the numerous relationships the Company has secured which provide exclusive and strategic options to develop innovative products, that traditionally were unable to capture consumer’s interest because of either limited shelf life, or inability to effectively enhance the flavor or health benefits without utilizing certain key patented processes, such as our new high-end structured water.”
In its effort to secure innovative beverage products and packaging, the Company entered into several Strategic Alliance Agreements. One of the agreements is a Strategic Agreement with Healthy Waters Brands Plus, Inc. and its CEO Dr. Julia Hunter, a health advocate spokesperson whose support for the Company’s product is welcomed and acknowledged. Lastly, the Company executed an Exclusive Beverage Agreement with Dr. Theodore Hersh, who owns 18 patents in the health industry which are key to the Company’s efforts to introduce product design as well as unique enhanced water, flavored water, teas and alcohol beverage products that may provide health oriented benefits.
