Aqua Maestro has distributions and exclusive importation rights with many products in their locale, including exclusive US importation rights to Via Natural, Cape Karoo, Fine, as well as exclusive Internet retail sales rights for the United States for brands such as Voss and Gerolsteiner.

Donney. He continued, "It is a great pleasure to have found such a strategically beneficial investor and partner in Global Beverage Solutions."
