OPPORTUNITY!

TAP INTO THIS SWEET

Because the demand for flavored vitamin water is growing at record levels,, Norland International has developed a unique “flavored vitamin water” system to help small to medium-sized bottlers make more profits!

Norland’s system allows an operator to easily add flavored water and flavored vitamin water to their company’s product line.

Sales of nutrient-enhanced drinks in the United States have more than tripled in the past ten years according to new research from the Beverage Marketing Corporation.

In the spring of 2007, The Coca-Cola Company announced that it would purchase Glaceau, the maker of Vitamin Water, for $4.2 billion in cash.

The acquisition was planned well in advance, as Coke pursued Glaceau, to upgrade its portfolio of noncarbonated

beverages - the sales of which have been growing much faster than carbonated soft drinks in recent years.

According to the publication “Business Insights”; between 2004 and 2007 the beverage industry has seen an overall growth in bottled water of over 12% with the strongest rate of growth in the vitamin and fruit flavored bottled water categories.

Studies show that the category has grown by more than 500% over that same period. The increase has predominantly been driven by consumers switching from sugary carbonated drinks to healthier flavored bottled water alternatives.

From an international perspective, the sales of flavored waters in Nigeria, grew over 20% in 2009 and are expected to boom to an amazing 140% over the next 5 years according to “Euromonitor International’s” latest report.

Norlands registered formulation is available in seven main flavors: • Cherry Orange• Mango• Fruit Punch• Kiwi-Strawberry• Grape• Lemon-Lime

Other flavors can also be formulated upon request. Each vitamin mixture contains Natural Flavor Concen-trates, Citric Acid Powder, vitamin B3 (Niacin), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin B5 plus vitamins C, D and E.

The proprietary mixture is pre-formulated in two parts: the first, being the base formulation with the sec-ond being the sweetener as a custom additive to suit each market’s taste profile. Among many benefits, the vitamin water formulation does not require expensive pasteurization equipment and has an expected shelf life of up to 6 months.

In most cases, the bottler will be required to add the “Complete Vitamin-Water Equipment Assembly” which includes the necessary equipment to properly mix and protect the formulation and prepare it for delivery to the bottle filler.

As the market for enhanced bottled water continues to grow, Norland‘s goal is to help its customers be at the front of this exciting industry trend. With over 18 years of experience in the industry, Norland is poised and ready to help your business take advantage of in-novative development.

Custom and Clear Flavors: Available for a one time formulating fee of $3,500 each flavor.

Formulations: Each flavor will be packaged with all contents required for final product. We start with “standardized formula-tions” – that is, the mix will contain the recommended amounts of vitamins, flavor and sweetener.

Production Start-up Quantity: We recommend that a customer who is new to flavored water start out with a minimum of three different flavors and 10 batches of mix per flavor / 30 batches.

Product Filling: In order for an operator to fill flavored water, “Gravity Fill Technology” must be utilized.

• Each 1000 gallon (3,750 liters) batch produces up to 7,500 / 500 ml. bottles of product.

• CIP Chemicals used to clean and disinfect the systems after production. CIP is defined as “Clean-in-Place”, which means your system does not need to be completely disassembled in order to disinfect the interior contact surfaces of the equipment. (20 CIP processes per 5 gallon bucket – minimum 4 buckets) = $40.00.

• Each Flavored Vitamin Water Pre-mix batch for 1,000 gallons = $448.00; Minimum order - 30 batches (3 flavors of 10 batches each) = $13,440.

• Initial Equipment cost is approximately = $39,464.00.

• Recommended Testing Equipment to comply with standards = $2,277.00.

• Estimated ingredients cost to produce each 500 ml. bottle of Flavored Vitamin Water = $0.059 ($448/7,500).

• Estimated time to mix each batch – approximately 30 minutes.

• Estimated time to clean and disinfect system - approximately 60 minutes.
