The presses are beginning to heat up! WTAA had a write up in the Edmonton Journal today. It wasn't on their web site. I don't have a scanner. So, I will type it in for you.
RENOIR WATER TO START FLOWING AGAIN
Journal Staff: Edmonton:
Locally based Renoir Fine Art Inc. may soon open a distribution and warehouse centre in Edmonton this fall for Renoir Sparkling Water. The company publishes art and licenses other products with the Renoir name. It is headed by Emmanuel Renoir, who started the Renoir line of water in Edmonton several years ago under a seperate company. The sparkling water line has been absent from the local market for two years but will be reintroduced after a licensing agreement between Renoir Fine Art's partner, Nanoton & Water Ltd. of Nanton, Soda & Water Ltd. of Nanton, Alta., and Canadian Cool Clear WTAA, Inc., of Las Vegas, Nev. WTAA will take over Nanton's existing food service accounts in Canada to allow Nanton to focus on bottling. Renoir Fine Art will assist in labelling and distribution. "Its a logical development," said Renoir, the President of Renoir Fine Art. "We've shared the same market for years and we respect each other." The deal is expected to increase Nanton's sales of about $500,000 in Western Canada to $2 million as the Renior line of sparkling water is expanded across Canada. |
