The Alkaline Water Company Enters Direct-Store-Delivery Partnership with Heidelberg Distributing in Ohio and Kentucky

Alkaline88®’s DSD Network Continues to Grow to Drive Brand Expansion

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline water company and the Clean Beverage® company, is pleased to announce a new Direct-Store-Delivery (DSD) partnership with Dayton Heidelberg Distributing and Heidelberg Distributing of Northern Kentucky (collectively, “Heidelberg”). Heidelberg will distribute Alkaline88® products throughout Ohio and Kentucky as the Company’s DSD network continues to grow in strategic markets around the country.

“As our existing DSD network continues to exceed expectations and drive brand growth, we are pleased to announce Alkaline88’s strategic partnership Heidelberg Distributing in Ohio and Kentucky,” said Frank Lazaran, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “Heidelberg has over 80 years of experience and provides service to approximately 26,000 retailers throughout Ohio and Kentucky which have a combined population of approximately 16 million people. This is a region of the country where we see great potential to continue to gain market share. As our sales team gains more retail doors in the region, having a premier DSD partner like Heidelberg boosts our initial product rollout and will enhance our brand presence in stores. This partnership will bear fruit almost immediately as we continue to add new major retail clients in the region.

“The continued growth of Alkaline88 in the Midwest and neighboring states will be supported by a new co-packer in the region, which we will announce in the coming weeks. Opening a new strategically located co-packer and partnering with Heidelberg Distributing demonstrate the ways The Alkaline Water Company continues to optimize operations by enhancing both production and distribution.”
