Profile

National Beverage Corp.FIZZConsumer Staples

Sells LaCroix sparkling water, Clear Fruit flavored water, Rip It energy drinks, Everfresh and Mr. Pure juices, and Shasta and Faygo sodas through U.S. retail and food-service channels. In-house flavor development and a company-owned production network underpin a largely domestic, LaCroix-led beverage business.

Develops, produces, markets, and distributes a U.S.-focused portfolio of sparkling waters, juices, energy drinks, and carbonated soft drinks. Power+ brands include LaCroix sparkling water, Clear Fruit flavored water, Rip It energy drinks and shots, and Everfresh and Mr. Pure juice products. Shasta and Faygo supply the legacy soda range.

Controls flavor development, packaging design, manufacturing, and distribution through twelve domestic production facilities and a mix of warehouse and direct-store delivery. This integrated model supports rapid flavor launches and service across grocery, club, mass-market, convenience, and food-service channels.

LaCroix is the most significant brand, while substantially all sales come from the United States. Demand follows consumer tastes and warm-weather seasonality; production depends on water, aluminum, plastic, sweeteners, juice concentrates, energy, and transportation, while beverage formulation, labeling, packaging, and distribution remain regulated.
