Zola, the makers of beverages powered by plant-based ingredients, announced that it has signed a distribution deal with Statewide Beverage Company to continue distribution expansion of the brand’s Plant-Powdered Hydration beverage portfolio.
“We spent the past year building out a new team, updating the Zola brand and creating innovative plant-powered hydration beverages. Statewide Beverage Company is a strategic sales partner that will accelerate the launch of our new items, fuel distribution expansion, and tell our brand’s story to a broader audience,” says Zola CEO and founder, Chris Cuvelier.
The southern California market is vital to the growth of the organic beverage brand, according to a release. Statewide is set to deepen Zola’s presence in the market with a customer base that already includes more than 4,000 retailers.
“We are inspired by Zola and believe in the product, the team, and most importantly the brand,” says Jeff Javidzad, CEO of Statewide. “Our unique blend of deep customer relationships across channels paired with deep beverage category experience matches up perfectly with Zola’s approach to transforming the market with plant-powered hydration,” added Jeff. “We’re excited to collaborate with Chris and his team in bringing their vision and innovative products to market nationwide, and look forward to helping broaden Zola’s distribution and success in the U.S.”
