PLAYA
VISTA, CA -- February 12 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:
HIPH) announces that it has established a business development
team based in the UK and Spain to pursue distribution deals and
strategic partnerships
for the Company's LALPINA brand across the Continent. The team will
be led by Tanya Gullick,
who will hold the title of Managing Director, Business Development,
UK & Europe, with
Paolo Toffolo
as
Director of Sales & Marketing for UK & Europe.
American
Premium CEO Ryan Fishoff, commented, "I am thrilled to announce the
Company's entry into the European continent. This market has been
largely ignored by a lot of our counterparts but collectively is as
large as the US and Canadian hemp markets. I'm thrilled to
bring Tanya and her team on board to expand our brand and sales
efforts overseas. Their twenty five plus years of experience in the
beverage industry and their expertise in the local markets will
allow the Company and the brand to scale very quickly over
there. In our strategic planning, they have outlined a marketing
and sales strategy that is in-line with the Company's overall
strategy to promote LALPINA CBD; there will be a heavy emphasis on
consumer education about CBD, its potential health benefits,
and sports marketing. Their team also has a number of high level
contacts within the liquor and beer and retail industry, and they
have already received inquiries about potential partnerships and
joint ventures utilizing the Company's proprietary
formulations. The team has a number
of dispensary contacts in Spain, where they will be looking to
expand our product portfolio in both CBD & THC infused
beverages. This
will
be a
huge
potential market for the Company once we export our THC
infused beverage that
complies with all federal and international laws. It's an exciting
time and I look forward to going there to meet the entire team and
work on the strategy for the region."
Ms.
Tanya Gullick,
Managing Director, Business Development UK &
Europe
commented, "I am thrilled to join the American Premium team. I love
the LALPINA CBD brand and I think it has a lot of potential to
succeed in the UK and European markets. In the next few months we
are going to be working feverishly to develop a
sales plan to get the
product into large distribution channels in the UK and Europe. The
market is wide open, there is a lot of interest in CBD infused
products, and there aren't many competitors in the space. LALPINA
CBD has the opportunity to grab significant market
share. Our contacts are well
established in the UK and Europe, and I also believe there is a lot
of opportunity in many of these countries based on their already
existing bottled water consumption & CBD
growth.
I am
excited to work with Ryan and management team
formulating our strategy to achieve success."
Ms.
Gullick
has over
thirty plus years in the health and wellness industry. She is a
proponent of CBD and has been an earlier adapter of the product.
Ms. Gullick
and her
team collectively have over twenty-five
years plus in the beverage industry and fifteen years plus in the
sports industry. Mr. Fishoff will be traveling to London next week
to meet with the team for strategy discussions. According to a
report released last week by New Frontier Data, the European
Hemp consumer market is expected be over $1.25 billion in size, on
par with the US and Canadian markets according to the report. The
collective populations of the UK, Spain, Germany, France, and Italy
is 320.23 million, approximately the same size as the
United States.
